Single Dental Implants for a single missing tooth
A long term, natural looking way to replace one missing tooth.
What is a single dental implant?
A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth without affecting the healthy teeth beside it. A small titanium post is placed in the jaw to act as the root, then a custom crown is fitted on top, giving you a replacement that looks and works like a natural tooth.
A titanium post placed in the jawbone that acts as the root of your new tooth and fuses with the bone over time.
A custom made tooth fitted on top, matched to the shape and shade of your natural teeth.
Why choose a single dental implant
A stable, natural looking replacement that stands on its own, without relying on the teeth around it.
Protects your other teeth
Unlike a bridge, an implant stands on its own and leaves the healthy teeth beside it untouched.
Looks and feels natural
A custom crown matched to the shape and shade of your own teeth, so it blends right in.
Supports the jawbone
The implant post helps maintain the jawbone in the space where the tooth was lost.
Built to last
Designed as a long term solution, with proper care and regular reviews by your clinic.

Single implant vs a dental bridge
Two common ways to replace a missing tooth. Here is how they compare.
Single dental implant
A standalone replacement rooted in the jaw.
- Leaves the healthy teeth beside it untouched
- Helps maintain the jawbone underneath
- Designed as a long term solution
- Brushed and flossed like a natural tooth
- Stands on its own, supported by the jaw
Traditional bridge
A false tooth held by the teeth either side.
- Adjacent teeth are filed down to anchor it
- Does not stimulate the bone below the gap
- Typically needs replacing sooner
- Needs special cleaning underneath
- Relies on the teeth either side of the gap
What a single dental implant costs in Australia

Implant and crown
The type of implant used and the material of your final crown.
Any preparation
Whether you need an extraction or bone grafting before the implant.
Your individual case
Your oral health and the position of the tooth being replaced.
