Single Tooth Dental Implants in Northwest Oklahoma City

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.

The Implant Process: What to Expect

1. Consultation & Imaging
   
   • We perform a detailed exam and digital 3D imaging to assess your bone and create a treatment plan
     
2. Implant Placement
   
   • The implant post is placed precisely into the jawbone under local anesthesia
     
3. Healing Phase
   
   • Over the next few months, the implant bonds with the bone (osseointegration)
     
4. Crown Placement
   
   • Once healed, a custom crown is attached to the implant for a seamless, fully functional tooth
     

You’ll walk away with a tooth that looks and feels like it’s always been there.

Implant Care Made Simple

Caring for your implant is just like caring for a natural tooth:

• Brush and floss daily
  
• Visit us regularly for cleanings and exams
  
• Avoid smoking or using teeth as tools
  
• Let us know if you ever experience discomfort or changes in bite
  

We’ll guide you through every step — from placement to restoration to long-term maintenance.
