What is a single tooth implant?
A single tooth implant is a fixed treatment option used to replace one missing tooth. It is designed to function independently, without relying on neighbouring teeth for support. A single tooth implant is a fixed treatment option used to replace one missing tooth. It is designed to function independently, without relying on neighbouring teeth for support. For patients considering dental implants in Perth, this treatment may provide a stable option for restoring a single missing tooth.
A dental implant consists of three components:
- The implant fixture – a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, where it acts as a replacement for the natural tooth root.
- The abutment – a connecting component that links the implant fixture to the restoration.
- The crown – the visible replacement tooth, custom made to match the shape and colour of surrounding teeth.
Together, these components restore function and appearance while providing a stable, long-term solution for a single missing tooth.
The Benefits of Single Tooth Dental Implants
When used to replace a missing tooth, dental implants may offer several functional and long-term advantages:
- Designed to closely replicate the look and function of a natural tooth in everyday use
- Fixed in place, providing stability during everyday activities such as eating and speaking
- Do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, helping preserve surrounding tooth structure
- Help maintain tooth alignment by preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting
- Provide stimulation to the jawbone, which can help limit bone loss associated with tooth loss
- The positive psychological impact with the feeling of being truly rehabilitated – no more missing teeth.
Our Treatment Process
Treatment begins with a detailed consultation and clinical assessment. Diagnostic records are taken to support accurate planning, which may include digital scans or impressions, photographs, and appropriate imaging such as X-rays or cone beam CT scans.
These records allow the implant treatment to be planned precisely and help determine the most appropriate approach and associated costs before treatment proceeds. Patients may also benefit from reviewing the broader dental implant treatment options available before deciding whether a single tooth implant is the right approach.
The implant placement procedure involves positioning the dental implant into the jawbone to replace the root of the missing tooth. Where required, preparatory procedures such as bone or soft tissue management may be planned as part of the same visit.
In some cases, a temporary restoration may be provided during the healing phase, depending on clinical suitability.
Following a healing period, typically around three months, the final ceramic crown is fitted. This crown is custom made to match surrounding teeth in shape and colour and is secured to the implant to restore function and appearance.
Once the final restoration is in place, ongoing care and monitoring are discussed to support long-term implant health.
Single Tooth Implant Cost Considerations
The cost of a single tooth implant at Aria Dental typically starts from $5,500*. This generally includes the implant fixture, placement procedure, abutment, and final crown.
The total cost may vary depending on individual clinical factors. In some cases, additional procedures such as tooth removal, bone grafting, or soft tissue management may be required to support long-term implant stability and outcomes.
A consultation allows these factors to be assessed in detail and enables a personalised implant treatment plan and cost estimate to be provided before proceeding.
Our Dental Implant Services
All-on-4 implants use a set of four titanium implants surgically placed in your jaw to fix a new set of manufactured replacement teeth. This procedure can replace your upper or lower teeth, or both, to restore your smile’s health, function, and aesthetics.
All-on-4 teeth replacements allow the total rehabilitation of a complete set of teeth, using fewer fixtures. This allows the dentist to avoid bone-deficient areas by placing implants into the healthy bone-dense regions, where the implant fixture can successfully osseointegrate into the jawbone.
Gum set ceramic bridges, supported by dental implants, represent a significant advancement in dental prosthetics. They offer a superior alternative to acrylic bridges, providing enhanced aesthetics, functionality, and oral health benefits.
Snap-On implants are a removable implant tooth replacement option stabilised using dental implants. Unlike removable teeth that rely on fit alone, Snap-On implants attach to implants placed in the jawbone to improve retention and functional stability.
This implant support can provide greater control during eating and speaking while still allowing the arch to be removed for cleaning. Snap-On implants may be considered for patients who want improved stability but do not prefer, or are not suitable for, a fixed full-arch implant restoration. As with all implant restorations, periodic review or adjustment may be recommended to maintain comfort, fit, and function over time.
A full arch fixed implant bridge is a fixed dental solution designed to replace the upper &/or lower row of missing or decaying teeth. This full arch fixed implant bridge is made up of a full set of teeth that are fixed to your upper &/or lower jaw via dental implants. A full arch fixed implant bridge mimics the contours, shape and form of natural teeth.
Full Arch Dental Implants are a fixed implant treatment, as opposed to a removable treatment such as a removable denture or overdenture, which means that you are not able to remove the prosthesis from your mouth once fitted.
Zygomatic implants are designed to provide support for a full arch of teeth in cases where there is insufficient bone in the upper jaw to support traditional implant placement. The procedure involves anchoring the implant into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), which provides a more secure foundation for the All-on-4 dental implant.
Zygomatic dental implants are typically longer than traditional implants and are placed at a 45-degree angle in the jaw bone to maximise support and stability and remove the need for bone grafts.
