Single Tooth Dental Implants in Northwest Oklahoma City
All your dental needs. One trusted team.
Missing a tooth? A single dental implant offers the most natural, permanent way to restore your smile. At Legacy Family Dentistry in Northwest OKC, we provide high-quality, long-lasting implant restorations that look, feel, and function like your real tooth.
Restore One Tooth. Protect Your Entire Smile.
Even just one missing tooth can affect your bite, confidence, and long-term oral health. A single dental implant fills the gap with a stable, lifelike replacement — no removable parts, no alteration of nearby teeth.
Led by Dr. Armin Zarkeshan, our team specializes in tooth replacement solutions that restore both aesthetics and function. Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or extraction, we’ll help you smile fully and confidently again.
What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once placed into the jawbone, the implant fuses with the bone over time (a process called osseointegration) and acts as a secure foundation for a custom crown.
Unlike a bridge, a single implant doesn’t require support from neighboring teeth — helping preserve your natural smile and bone structure.
Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant
- Natural appearance – Custom crown matches your existing teeth
- Stronger bite – Eat the foods you love without worry
- Long-term durability – Implants often last 20+ years
- Jawbone preservation – Prevents bone loss where the tooth was lost
- No impact on adjacent teeth – Protects surrounding enamel
- Permanent solution – Doesn’t need to be removed or replaced regularly
With proper care, your dental implant can be a lifelong solution.
When Is a Dental Implant the Right Choice?
We may recommend a single implant if you:
- Are missing one tooth due to trauma, decay, or extraction
- Want a fixed, non-removable replacement
- Have sufficient bone density for implant support
- Are looking for a long-term alternative to removable bridges or partials
If you’ve recently had a tooth extraction, we may be able to plan for early or immediate implant placement to minimize treatment time.

Are dental implants painful?
No — placement is done under local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Post-op soreness is manageable with OTC medication.
How long do implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more — often a lifetime.
How soon can I get a crown after implant placement?
In most cases, we wait 3–6 months for full healing. We’ll provide a temporary solution in the meantime if needed.
What if I’ve been missing a tooth for years?
We’ll assess bone health with digital imaging. If needed, we may recommend bone grafting before implant placement.
Is a bridge cheaper than an implant?
Bridges often cost less upfront but may need replacement over time. Implants are more durable and protect bone and adjacent teeth — making them a better long-term value.
