Restore a Missing Tooth with a Permanent, Natural-Looking Solution

Losing even one tooth can affect how you chew, speak, and smile — and leave the surrounding teeth vulnerable to shifting or bone loss. A single tooth implant is the most durable and natural-looking way to restore one missing tooth without relying on neighboring teeth for support.

At EverySmile Dental Riverview, we provide expertly placed single tooth implants in Riverview FL using modern technology and a patient-first approach. Whether you lost a tooth due to decay, trauma, or extraction, we can rebuild your smile with precision and care.

Led by Dr. Seth H. McDuffie, DMD, our office serves patients throughout Riverview, Boyette, FishHawk, Bloomingdale, and surrounding areas — helping them feel confident in their smiles again.

Single Tooth Implants in Riverview, FL

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. After the implant integrates with the bone, it is topped with a custom crown designed to match your surrounding teeth.

This solution is ideal for patients who:

  • Are missing one tooth (front or back)
  • Want a permanent, fixed replacement
  • Prefer to avoid a dental bridge
  • Have healthy gums and bone
  • Want to preserve nearby teeth

Unlike bridges, single implants do not require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth.

Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant

  • Restores full function and appearance
  • Feels and functions like your natural tooth
  • Prevents bone loss in the jaw
  • Maintains alignment of nearby teeth
  • Long-lasting — can last decades with proper care
  • Does not impact surrounding teeth like a bridge

Implants also make oral hygiene easier than bridges, as you can floss and brush like normal.

Implant vs. Bridge: Which Is Better?

A traditional bridge fills a gap by anchoring to the adjacent teeth. This requires filing down the neighboring teeth, even if they’re healthy.

A single tooth implant replaces only the missing tooth — preserving your natural teeth and offering greater durability and bone support.

We’ll help you decide which is best based on your oral health, anatomy, and goals.

What to Expect During the Procedure

At EverySmile Dental Riverview, your entire implant process is completed in-house:

  1. Consultation & Planning: We assess your oral health and bone density with 3D imaging and review your options.
  2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant is gently placed into the jaw under local anesthesia.
  3. Healing & Integration: Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the bone through osseointegration.
  4. Crown Placement: A custom crown is attached to the implant abutment, completing your restoration.

Once complete, your tooth will look and feel just like your own — and you can treat it like a natural tooth.

Cost of a Single Tooth Implant in Riverview
