Single Dental Implant in Gardena, CA
Permanent, Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement by Your Gardena Implant Dentist
A single dental implant is the most reliable and natural-feeling way to replace a missing tooth. Unlike bridges or removable partial dentures, a dental implant restores the entire tooth—from root to crown—providing long-term stability, strength, and a seamless appearance. At Brite Dental in Gardena, we specialize in affordable single tooth implants designed to look and function just like your natural teeth.
Benefits of a Single Dental Implant
- Long-Lasting Tooth Replacement: A single implant can last a lifetime with proper care, unlike bridges or dentures that may need replacement.
- Natural Look, Feel, and Function: Your implant crown is custom-shaded and shaped to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.
- Improved Confidence & Speech: Because implants are anchored in your jawbone, they will not slip or shift when you talk, smile, or chew.
- Prevents Bone Loss: Implants act like natural tooth roots and help maintain jawbone density, preventing bone shrinkage after tooth loss.
- Strong Chewing Power: Enjoy all your favorite foods again—no slipping dentures, no discomfort.
- Protects Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth.
Step-by-Step Implant Process in Gardena, CA
Single dental implants replace one missing tooth using a titanium post, an abutment, and a custom aesthetic crown. The process typically includes:
- Consultation & 3D Evaluation: Your implant dentist in Gardena assesses your gums, bone level, and overall oral health. X-rays or 3D imaging help determine ideal implant placement.
- Implant Placement Surgery: A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone using local anesthesia. This replaces the missing tooth root.
- Healing & Osseointegration (4–6 Months): The implant fuses securely with your bone, creating a stable foundation for your new tooth.
- Abutment Placement: Once healed, a connector piece (abutment) is attached to the implant.
- Permanent Crown Placement: A custom porcelain crown is placed on top of the abutment. It matches the color, shape, and brightness of your natural teeth for a beautiful final result.

Why Choose a Single Dental Implant?
A single tooth implant is ideal when only one tooth is missing or must be replaced. As long as you have sufficient bone support, an implant can be placed in any area of the mouth. Implants are strong, durable, and completely natural in appearance—often lasting a lifetime with good oral hygiene.
Dental implants are made from biocompatible materials like titanium, allowing them to bond safely with the jawbone. All implant procedures are performed comfortably in our Gardena office using local anesthetic.
