Single Tooth Replacement in Irvine
A missing tooth doesn’t have to be a lifelong problem. At Sand Canyon Dental in Irvine, we offer secure, natural-looking single tooth implants to help restore your smile’s function and appearance.
Why Replace a Missing Tooth?
Even one missing tooth can lead to bigger oral health issues. Gaps in your smile can cause:
Shifting of nearby teeth
Difficulty chewing or speaking
Bite misalignment
Bone loss in the jaw
Increased risk of gum disease
Timely replacement preserves your bite, your appearance, and your long-term oral health.
What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single tooth implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone that functions like a natural tooth root. Once the implant heals and fuses with the bone, a custom porcelain crown is placed on top, restoring your smile without affecting neighboring teeth.
Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant
Independent support – Doesn’t rely on nearby teeth like a bridge
Bone preservation – Stimulates jawbone to prevent deterioration
Natural aesthetics – Looks, feels, and functions like your real tooth
Durability – Can last 15+ years with proper care
Low maintenance – Clean like a natural tooth
