SINGLE DENTAL IMPLANT - Madison and Pearl MISSISSIPPI

A single dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a titanium post inserted into the jawbone. It fuses with the bone, acting like a natural root, and is topped with a crown that looks and functions just like a real tooth.

The process starts with a consultation and exam. After sedation, the implant is placed into your jaw. A temporary crown is fitted until the implant integrates with the bone. Later, your final crown is placed for a lasting, lifelike restoration.

Our in-house oral and maxillofacial surgeon brings four years of specialized training in implant procedures. We also offer IV sedation and advanced techniques like bone grafting when needed, all in one location for convenience and precision.

Most patients recover from initial surgery in a few days. Full healing, where the implant integrates with the bone, takes a few months. You’ll be given a temporary crown during this time, so you can speak and eat comfortably while healing.

A single dental implant is the best way to replace one missing tooth. It prevents bone loss, restores full chewing function, and blends in naturally with your smile—better than a partial denture or bridge.

When a tooth is missing, surrounding teeth can drift, leading to bite issues. A dental implant keeps your teeth aligned by filling the gap with a stable, permanent replacement that supports your full bite.

Yes. Without a tooth root, your jawbone begins to shrink. A dental implant stimulates the bone like a natural root, preserving your jaw structure and preventing facial collapse over time.

Waiting allows bone loss to progress, which can complicate future treatment. Getting a dental implant now preserves your jaw health and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting.

If you’re in good health and have enough jawbone, you likely are. Even if you’re not currently eligible, we offer treatments like bone grafting to help make you a candidate.
