What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth from the root up. A small titanium post is placed in your jaw where the tooth used to be, then a custom crown is attached on top, so your bite, your smile, and the way you chew stay where they belong.
- Replaces the whole tooth A titanium post takes the place of the missing root, topped with a custom crown.
- Spares your healthy teeth It stands on its own post, so the teeth beside the gap are not shaved down to hold it.
- Restores comfortable chewing Bite into the foods you enjoy and speak clearly again, on both sides.
- Looks and feels natural Your crown is shaped and shaded to blend in with the teeth around it.
- Anchored in your jaw It stays set day and night, and you brush and floss it like a natural tooth.
- Most PPO plans accepted We verify your benefits for free and give you a written estimate first.

The Single Tooth Implant Process at Diamondback
A single tooth implant is done in stages over a few months, which gives the post time to fuse with your jaw and hold your new tooth securely. We numb the area with local anesthesia so each visit stays comfortable, and we walk you through every step before we begin.
Exam and Plan
We examine the gap and the bone around it, take X-rays or a 3D scan to confirm there is enough bone to support an implant, and review your options. You get a clear written estimate, and if you have insurance, a breakdown of what we expect it to cover before anything starts.
Place the Implant
We place a small titanium post in your jaw where the tooth is missing, then give it time to heal and bond with the bone. When it helps, we can fit a temporary tooth so you are not left with a visible gap while you heal.
Add Your Crown
Once the post has fully healed, we attach the abutment and your custom crown, then check the fit, color, and bite. We show you how to brush and floss around it so it stays healthy and comfortable.
Single Tooth Implant Options: Standard, With a Bone Graft, or a Bridge Alternative
Every missing tooth is a little different. Dr. Owtad looks at where the gap is, how much healthy bone you have, and the teeth around it to recommend the approach that fits your smile and your budget.
Standard Single Tooth Implant
The classic approach and the one most patients receive. A titanium post is placed in the jaw, given time to heal, and then finished with a custom crown that matches your other teeth.
- Time-tested, reliable approach
- Replaces the root and the crown
- Leaves neighboring teeth untouched
- Custom crown shaded to match
- Most PPO plans accepted
Best when you have healthy jawbone and are not in a rush to finish.
Book a consultationImplant With Bone Graft
When the jaw has lost bone where the tooth used to be, we can rebuild the area with a bone graft first, then place the implant once it has healed.
- Rebuilds bone lost after tooth loss
- Creates a stable base for the post
- Makes more patients candidates
- Done right here in our office
- Planned from your 3D scan
Best when a scan shows there is not yet enough bone to hold an implant.
Book a consultationImplant vs. Bridge
Not sure an implant is right for you? A dental bridge is another way to fill the gap without surgery. We will walk you through the trade-offs of each so you can choose with confidence.
- No surgery or healing period
- Often finished in two visits
- Can cost less up front
- Uses the teeth beside the gap
- Most PPO plans accepted
Best if you would rather avoid surgery or restore the tooth sooner.

What Patients Say About Diamondback Dentistry
Single Tooth Implant Questions, Answered
Answers to what North Phoenix patients ask most about single tooth implants. Do not see your question? Call (602) 866-8183 and we will help.
How much does a single tooth implant cost in Phoenix?
The cost of a single tooth implant in Phoenix depends on your case, the materials used, and whether you need a step like a bone graft first. Because of that range, Diamondback Dentistry gives you a written estimate before treatment begins and reviews what your plan covers. Call (602) 866-8183 for a quote specific to your situation.
How long does a single tooth implant last?
With good daily care and regular checkups, a single tooth implant is a long-term solution. The implant post often lasts many years, and the custom crown on top typically lasts about 10 to 15 years before it may need replacing. How long yours lasts depends on the materials, your bite, and how well you keep it clean.
Is a dental implant or a dental bridge better?
It depends on your situation. A single tooth implant stands on its own without reshaping nearby teeth and helps preserve the jawbone, though it involves minor surgery and a healing period. A dental bridge costs less upfront and is usually finished in two visits. At our North Phoenix office, Dr. Owtad reviews both options so you can choose what fits you.
Does dental insurance cover single tooth implants?
Many PPO dental plans cover a portion of a single tooth implant as a major restorative service after your deductible, but coverage varies by plan. Diamondback Dentistry accepts most major PPO plans and verifies your benefits for free before your visit. Call (602) 866-8183 and we will confirm what your specific plan covers.
What are the steps to get a single tooth implant?
A single tooth implant is done in stages. First we examine the area and take a 3D scan, then we place a small titanium post in your jaw where the tooth is missing. After it heals and bonds with the bone, we attach a custom crown that matches your other teeth. We walk you through each step at our North Phoenix office.
Does getting a single tooth implant hurt?
Getting a single tooth implant should not hurt. We numb the area with local anesthesia so the visit stays comfortable, and most patients feel only mild pressure during placement and some mild soreness for a few days after. If you feel anxious, local anesthesia with anti-anxiety medication is available on request. Tell us your concerns when you book and we will plan the visit around your comfort.
How do I take care of a single tooth implant?
Care for a single tooth implant just like a natural tooth: brush twice a day, floss around it daily, and keep your regular checkups so we can monitor the implant and the gumline. Good home care and routine visits are the best way to help your implant and crown last for many years.
