Understanding the Dental Care

What a Single Tooth Implant Is

A single tooth implant is a permanent replacement for one missing tooth. It’s made of a titanium post that replaces the root, and a custom crown that restores the visible part of the tooth. This structure functions just like a natural tooth and helps maintain the health of your jawbone and surrounding teeth.

At Method Modern Dentistry in Alpharetta and Roswell, GA, Dr. Alex Franco places your implant with precision and designs a crown that matches your smile. The process involves a consultation, placement of the implant, healing time, and final crown placement. Once complete, it’s hard to tell you ever lost a tooth at all.

Why Implants Are Worth It

The Benefits of Single Tooth Implants

Single implants are the gold standard for replacing a missing tooth. They help restore your bite, protect bone health, and blend in naturally with the rest of your smile. Once placed, they don’t shift, slip, or wear out like other options. Here’s what makes them worth considering:

  • Permanent solution that looks and feels real

  • Keeps jawbone strong and prevents bone loss

  • Doesn’t impact nearby healthy teeth

Quick steps before your treatment

Preparation for Your Single Tooth Implant

Getting ready for a single tooth implant is mostly about understanding the process and keeping the area clean. Pay attention to how the gap affects your chewing or speech so you can share that with Dr. Alex Franco. She may take digital scans to map your bone structure and plan the implant position. In the days before your appointment, brush gently around the site to lower bacteria levels.

Eat a solid meal beforehand since your mouth may feel tender afterward. If you take any medications or supplements, mention them so she can confirm they are safe during healing. Bring any questions about the timeline or crown options so you feel fully prepared.

Aftercare for Your Single Tooth Implant

Healing from a single tooth implant is usually straightforward, but the site needs gentle care. For the first day, stick to soft foods and chew on the opposite side. Mild swelling or tenderness is normal and can be eased with cold compresses or approved pain relievers. Keep your mouth clean by brushing carefully around nearby teeth and using warm salt water rinses after 24 hours. Avoid smoking, vigorous rinsing, or touching the implant site so healing stays steady.

As discomfort fades, maintain regular brushing and flossing to support healthy gum tissue. If you notice unusual soreness or movement, schedule a quick check with Dr. Alex Franco. With proper care, your implant will integrate well and be ready for its final crown.

Still Got Questions About Single Tooth Implants?

Here’s everything you need to know before your visit. From how the treatment works to what to expect after your appointment, we’ve got you covered.

Yes, in many cases. An implant doesn’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, so it protects the rest of your mouth and lasts longer with proper care.

After the implant is placed, it needs time to heal and bond with your bone — usually a few months. Once healed, we place the crown. The result is worth the wait.

Brush, floss, and care for your implant like a natural tooth. Dr. Franco will check it at your regular cleanings to make sure everything stays healthy and stable.

Not unless you tell them. The crown is custom-made to match the color, shape, and shine of your natural teeth. It blends right in.

Not at all. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques to make the procedure comfortable. Most patients say it feels easier than expected.
