Single Tooth Implant in Summit, NJ
A single tooth implant is the best way to permanently replace one missing tooth. It looks, feels, and functions just like your natural tooth — without affecting the surrounding teeth. At Prism Oral Surgery & Implants of Summit, we place single implants with precision and care to restore your smile and confidence.
How It Works
A dental implant replaces the entire structure of your missing tooth — root and all. Here's how it works:
- A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone
- The implant heals and bonds to your bone
- A custom crown is attached for a seamless look
You end up with a tooth that looks real, feels strong, and won’t shift or loosen over time.
Why Choose a Single Tooth Implant?
This solution is ideal for patients who:
- Have lost one tooth due to injury, decay, or extraction
- Want a permanent option that won’t damage neighboring teeth
- Prefer a solution that helps preserve bone and facial structure
Unlike a dental bridge, an implant doesn’t require grinding down nearby teeth. And unlike removable options, it won’t move around or need adhesives.
What to Expect
After a full consultation and 3D imaging, Dr. Jean Kim, DDS — our Board-Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon — will carefully plan and place your implant.
We use advanced technology for accuracy and offer general anesthesia or sedation dentistry to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
Some patients may need bone grafting before implant placement if there’s been bone loss in the area.
