Single Tooth Implant
Single Tooth Implant · Honolulu, HI
One missing tooth. One precise replacement.
A single implant replaces the root and crown of one tooth — without filing down the healthy teeth next to it, the way a bridge would require.
How it works
Root and crown, replaced separately from your other teeth
A titanium post is placed into the jawbone where the tooth’s root used to be. Over a few months, the bone fuses directly to the implant (osseointegration) — creating a foundation as stable as a natural root.
A custom crown, matched to your surrounding teeth in color and shape, is then attached on top. The result functions and looks like the tooth that was there before.
Why not a bridge
An implant vs. a traditional bridge
- Doesn’t require grinding down the healthy teeth on either side
- Typically lasts decades, vs. 10–15 years for a bridge
- Stops the jawbone loss that naturally follows losing a tooth
- Cleans like a natural tooth — no floss threader required underneath
What to Expect
From consult to your finished tooth
01
Consultation and imaging
We confirm bone depth and width at the site to plan exact implant placement.
02
Implant placement
The titanium post is placed into the jawbone in a single, typically comfortable appointment.
03
Healing (2–4 months)
The bone fuses to the implant. A temporary tooth may be worn during this time depending on the site.
04
Final crown
Your custom crown is attached, matched to your bite and the surrounding teeth.
What does one implant cost?
Single tooth implants are priced per tooth, including the post, abutment, and crown. We’ll give you one clear number before you commit.
