A Focused Plan for One Missing Tooth

A missing front tooth can affect your smile. A missing back tooth can change how you chew. A single tooth implant supports a crown designed for that space. Dr. Andrew Rudnick evaluates the nearby teeth, gums, bone, and bite before recommending a replacement that fits your needs.

Request an Implant Consultation

The Implant, Connector, and Crown

The implant is the foundation placed in the jawbone. A connector, called an abutment, joins it to the crown you see. These parts work together, but they are not always completed at the same visit.

At Rudnick Dentistry, implant placement and the crown are available in our office. Planning considers the whole replacement, including any preparation and temporary tooth, rather than the implant alone.

An Implant Crown or a Dental Bridge?

An Implant Crown

An implant provides its own support and may replace a tooth without preparing the neighboring teeth. Treatment includes surgery and healing. Bone, gum health, medical history, and bite forces all affect suitability.

A Conventional Bridge

A bridge uses nearby teeth for support. It may be appropriate when those teeth already need restorations or when implant surgery is not the preferred approach. Compare the effect on surrounding teeth, treatment time, cleaning, and complete cost.

Learn about conventional dental bridges or implant bridges for several missing teeth. If the original tooth is still present, we first assess whether it can be maintained.

Planning for a Front Tooth or Back Tooth

DR. ANDREW RUDNICK AT RUDNICK DENTISTRY — Andrew Rudnick, DMD, LVI Fellow

A Front Tooth

The crown’s shape, shade, and gum outline affect how it looks when you speak and smile. Tell us if you are concerned about a visible gap during treatment.

A Back Tooth

Chewing space and the contact with opposing teeth deserve careful attention. Let us know if you grind or clench your teeth. The restoration must also allow practical daily cleaning.

What You May Wear While Healing

A clip-on temporary tooth may be an option while the site heals. Sometimes a temporary crown can attach to the implant immediately when stability and clinical conditions support that approach.

A temporary tooth is not the same as the final crown, and it may have limits on biting and food choices. We discuss your temporary plan before treatment, including what may change if the implant needs more healing time.

Your Final Crown and Ongoing Care

Before the final crown is completed, we assess its fit, appearance, bite, and cleaning access. The treatment sequence depends on the site and any additional care needed.

Brush and clean around the restoration as instructed, and attend recommended review visits. A crown or connector may need repair or replacement over time. Let us know if the crown feels loose, your bite changes, or discomfort persists.

What Your Treatment Estimate Includes

The complete estimate should address imaging, the implant, connector, final crown, temporary tooth, and any extraction or bone treatment. We discuss the planned services before treatment so you can compare the full cost.

Insurance benefits and financing terms need individual confirmation. Your consultation should also explain the benefits, surgical risks, alternatives, and expected maintenance.

Single-Tooth Implants FAQs

Clear answers to help you understand your options and plan your care.

Request an Appointment

What is a single-tooth dental implant?

It replaces one missing tooth using an implant in the jaw, a connector called an abutment, and a crown. These parts may be completed at different stages.

How much does a single-tooth implant cost?

Ask for the complete cost of the implant, connector, crown, imaging, temporary tooth, and any extraction or grafting. An advertised implant-only price may not include the full replacement.

Is a single implant better than a dental bridge?

An implant may replace a tooth without preparing its neighbors, but requires surgery and suitable support. A conventional bridge may fit other circumstances. Compare both options after an examination.

Can an implant be placed immediately after a tooth is removed?

Sometimes, depending on the site, infection, available bone, and stability. Placement timing and attaching a temporary crown are separate decisions. Your plan may instead allow healing before the next stage.

Will I have a visible gap while the implant heals?

Discuss temporary tooth options before treatment. A clip-on temporary or another replacement may be suitable; an immediate implant crown is possible only in selected cases. Temporary teeth may have eating restrictions.

How long does an implant crown last?

The crown may need maintenance or replacement even if the implant remains healthy. Bite forces, material wear, cleaning, and tissue health all matter. Contact the office if it feels loose or uncomfortable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding Dentist and an Amazing Team!
I cannot recommend this dental office highly enough! As someone who experiences severe dental anxiety, going to the dentist has always been extremely stressful for me. From the moment I walked through the door, the entire staff made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
The dentist and the entire team demonstrated exceptional skill, patience, compassion, and understanding. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything thoroughly, and make sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Their gentle approach, professionalism, and ability to understand and accommodate dental anxiety made a tremendous difference in my experience.
It is not easy to find a dental office that combines outstanding clinical skills with such genuine compassion for their patients. This team truly goes above and beyond to make you feel safe, respected, and at ease.
If you struggle with dental anxiety or fear of going to the dentist, I highly recommend this office! You will be treated with kindness, patience, and understanding rather than judgment. The entire team deserves recognition for the exceptional care they provide. They have made what is normally a very difficult experience so much more manageable, and I am incredibly grateful for the way they treated me.
Thank you to Dr. Rudnick and every member of the staff for making such a positive difference. You have earned my trust, my appreciation, and my highest recommendation!
