Single Tooth Implants in Clifton, NJ
Missing just one tooth can change how you smile, eat, and feel. We offer single tooth implant solutions designed to look natural, feel stable, and help you feel like yourself again.
What is a single tooth implant?
A single tooth implant is a long-lasting solution that not only replaces a missing tooth but also mimics the look and feel of your natural teeth. We place a small titanium implant post for a single tooth in your jaw, then attach a custom crown that matches your smile.
It takes care of the whole tooth, from the root all the way to the crown, allowing you to bite, chew, and flash that confident smile. At our Clifton dental office, we use gentle techniques and precise planning so your dental implant surgery feels as easy and predictable as possible.
Who should get a single tooth implant?
If you are missing one tooth, have a damaged tooth that needs to come out, or you are tired of a removable flipper, a single tooth implant in Clifton may be your best long-term option. It works especially well for a front-tooth implant, where looks really matter, and for anyone who wants a stable missing tooth solution that does not come in and out.
We often recommend a same-day single implant when we can safely remove a bad tooth and place the implant in one visit. In some cases, we may talk about a mini dental implant if your bone is thin or if a smaller option makes more sense. During your visit, we will also explain single versus multiple implants, so you know when you might need one implant and when a bridge or more implants would be better.
How it works (process timeline)
We keep the single tooth implant process clear, organized, and personalized. From your first visit, we take time to answer questions about single versus multiple implants and single dental implant cost, so you never feel rushed.
Step-by-step process:
- Ongoing care and checkups: We review how to care for your single tooth implant at home and schedule routine visits in Clifton to protect your investment for the long term.
- Friendly consultation in Clifton: We start with an exam, digital scans, and a conversation about your goals, budget, and health history. We review tooth replacement options, including mini dental implant choices and front-tooth implant designs.
- Implant placement: We gently place the implant post for a single tooth into your jaw where the root used to be. Most patients say the process is easier than they expected. You leave with clear instructions and a temporary solution if needed.
- Healing and bonding phase: Over the next few months, your bone bonds with the implant. This creates a strong foundation, similar to a natural root. During this time, we see you for short follow-up visits in Clifton to track healing and keep you comfortable.
- Custom crown design: Once healed, we take precise impressions and colour-match your new crown to your surrounding teeth. This step is especially important for a front-tooth implant where appearance matters most.
- Final crown placement: We attach the custom crown to the implant and check your bite, comfort, and smile. You leave with a complete tooth replacement that feels secure when you talk, laugh, and eat.
- Ongoing care and checkups: We review how to care for your single tooth implant at home and schedule routine visits in Clifton to protect your investment for the long term.
Safety + Longevity
We know patients often ask, “Are dental implants safe?” The short answer is yes, when they are planned carefully and placed by an experienced dentist who looks at your whole health. At Harmony Dental Arts, we take a medical and dental view of your case, checking your bone, gums, and bite before we ever place an implant.
Longevity matters too. With the right maintenance, a single tooth implant can last for many years, and in some cases, even decades. Your crown may eventually need to be replaced from normal wear, but the implant post is designed as a stable, long-term solution. Good hygiene, regular checkups, and a healthy lifestyle all play a part in how long a dental implant in Clifton, NJ can last for you.

What Our Patients Are Saying
FAQ
During the dental implant surgery, we numb the area so you stay comfortable. You may feel pressure but not sharp pain. After the visit, most patients describe mild soreness that responds well to common pain medication and cool compresses. We review everything you can do at home to stay comfortable while you heal.
The single dental implant cost depends on factors such as whether a bone graft is needed, the type of implant used, and the final crown material. We review your dental implant cost in detail before treatment, check your insurance benefits, and discuss ways to keep your affordable dental implants within reach.
A mini dental implant is smaller in diameter and can work well when bone is limited or when specific conditions are present. It is not right for everyone. During your visit, we will compare standard and mini options and talk through what gives you the safest, most stable result.
