Single Tooth Implants at Woodbend Dental

A single dental implant is the most natural and long-lasting way to replace a missing tooth. A titanium post is placed directly into the jawbone, where it fuses over time through a process called osseointegration. A custom crown is then attached on top.

Unlike a bridge, a single implant doesn't require altering the adjacent healthy teeth. It also stimulates the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that naturally occurs after tooth loss.

With proper care, a single implant can last a lifetime — making it the most cost-effective tooth replacement option over the long term.

The Process

What to expect, step by step

01

Assessment & Planning

3D imaging and bone density assessment determine if you're a candidate and plan implant placement.

Implant Placement

The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic.

03

Healing (Osseointegration)
