Single Tooth Implant Dentist in Bay Area, San Jose, CA

At Selective Dental, we understand how important it is to restore both the function and appearance of your smile when you have a missing tooth. That’s why we offer single tooth implant procedures right here in our practice.

A single tooth implant involves a multi-step process designed to replace a missing tooth. First, a titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement for the tooth root. This post integrates with the bone over a few months in a process called osseointegration, ensuring a stable foundation for the new tooth.

Once the implant has fused with the bone, a crown is custom-made to match the size, shape, and color of the surrounding teeth. This crown is then attached to the implant post using an abutment. The result is a natural-looking and durable tooth replacement that functions just like a regular tooth, helping to restore both appearance and bite functionality.

If you’re ready to restore your smile with a durable, natural-looking solution, Selective Dental’s skilled dental team is here to guide you every step of the way. To guarantee that your dental implant not only looks fantastic but also offers long-lasting performance, we employ cutting-edge methods and premium materials. Our team is committed to delivering personalized care, ensuring that your experience is smooth and tailored to your unique needs.

At Selective Dental, we believe that a single tooth implant is an excellent, long-lasting solution for patients missing one tooth who desire a natural-looking replacement. The ideal candidate for a dental implant will have healthy gums and enough jawbone to securely support the implant.

A good candidate for a single tooth implant is someone who has a missing tooth and a healthy jawbone that can support the implant. Ideal candidates should have adequate bone density to secure the titanium post and should be in overall good health. Patients should not have any conditions that could impair healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or active gum disease, as these factors could hinder the success of the implant.

Additionally, this surgery is more appropriate for people who are dedicated to maintaining regular dental checkups and proper oral hygiene. A single tooth implant is an excellent option for those who want a long-term solution for tooth loss, as it provides a more permanent and natural-looking result compared to traditional bridges.

At Selective Dental, Dr. Victoria Vuong, DDS, and Dr. Henry Chang, DDS, understand the importance of a healthy, complete smile. That’s why we offer single tooth implants as a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. A single tooth implant can last for many years, often between 20 to 30 years, with proper care and maintenance. The titanium post, which is securely embedded into the jawbone, is highly durable and resistant to decay.

Titanium has the unique ability to fuse with the bone in a process that provides a strong and lasting foundation for the replacement tooth. The crown that sits on top of the implant is custom-made and can also last for a long time, but it may need to be replaced after many years due to normal wear and tear. To maximize the lifespan of a single tooth implant, it’s essential to follow a strict oral care routine, including brushing and flossing regularly, as well as attending routine dental check-ups and cleanings. Regular visits allow your dentist to monitor the health of the implant and surrounding tissue.

Additionally, avoiding harmful habits such as teeth grinding, chewing on hard objects, or using the teeth as tools will help preserve both the implant and the crown.  With the right care and attention, a single tooth implant can provide a reliable, natural-looking, and long-lasting solution for tooth loss. At Selective Dental, we’re committed to supporting you at every step, from your initial consultation to ongoing maintenance, so your implant lasts as long as possible. With care and regular visits to Selective Dental, a single tooth implant can be a durable, reliable solution, restoring your confidence and your smile for decades to come.

At Selective Dental, we understand how important it is to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile after losing a tooth. That’s why we offer single tooth implants—a highly effective and natural-looking solution for tooth replacement.

Compared to more conventional tooth replacement solutions like bridges, a single tooth implant has a number of important advantages. One of the primary advantages is its ability to restore both the function and appearance of a missing tooth. The titanium post is securely embedded in the jawbone, mimicking the natural tooth root, which helps maintain the integrity of the jawbone and prevent bone loss. This ensures that the surrounding teeth remain stable, unlike with bridges that require neighboring teeth to be filed down.

Additionally, single tooth implants provide a more comfortable and permanent solution. You can eat, talk, and smile with confidence because they don’t slip or move. The implant is also easier to maintain, requiring only regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Unlike bridges, which may need to be replaced after a few years, a well-cared-for implant can last for decades, offering a long-term solution that mimics the natural look and function of your original tooth.
