How long does a single dental implant last?

With proper oral hygiene, regular checkups, and healthy gums, a dental implant on one tooth can last 20 years or more. The titanium post integrates with your jawbone, creating a permanent foundation that won’t decay or shift like traditional bridges or dentures.

Can I get a same-day dental implant?

Yes, many patients who need just one dental implant can have it placed on the same day as the initial appointment. Whether you’re eligible for same-day implants depends on factors like your bone density and oral health.

Does getting one implant hurt?

Even with simple, minimally invasive dental implant procedures, patients typically experience pain and swelling for a week or two at the implant site. During the procedure, you’ll receive a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable and pain-free, with the option for IV sedation if needed.

Am I a candidate for a single dental implant?

Most adults with good oral and overall health are candidates for single-tooth replacements. If you’ve experienced bone loss or have been missing a tooth for a while, bone grafting may be recommended to ensure a strong anchor for the implant and long-term success.

What Is a Single Dental Implant?

A single dental implant is an artificial tooth designed to look, feel, and function like the real thing.

The implant itself is a titanium post that acts as the tooth’s root, anchoring it in the jaw. Another metal piece, called an abutment, connects the implant to the visible part of the tooth — the crown.

Single tooth dental implants are ideal when only one tooth needs replacement, while a partial or full mouth restoration uses multiple implants to support bridges or full dentures for patients missing several or all teeth.

The ORA 4X Single Implant Process

At ORA 4X, we use the latest technology to make single tooth replacements faster, safer, and more accurate. Guided by robotic-assisted systems like Yomi, our team creates a customized treatment plan based on your unique anatomy for beautiful, lasting results. Here’s how it works.

Step 1: Consultation and Digital Scan: We’ll start by taking 3D scans of your mouth to assess your anatomy and bone density. Then, we’ll use these images to create a surgical plan that guides every step of your implant placement. During this initial consultation, we will also discuss your insurance and financing options, and answer any questions you may have about the process.
Step 2: Implant Placement: We’ll then use robotic guidance to place your implant. This involves combining 4D imaging with precise, computer-guided movements to position the implant exactly as planned. In most cases, we’ll place a temporary crown at this stage so you can leave our office with a confident, fully functional smile.
Step 3: Final Custom Crown: Single tooth implants typically take 3-6 months to fully heal through a process called osseointegration, when the implant fuses with the surrounding bone. During this time, we’ll craft a custom crown that perfectly matches your smile, then replace the temporary one once healing is complete. Your new tooth will be made of durable, aesthetic materials like ceramic zirconia so you can enjoy a natural look and feel that lasts.
