Contact UsWhat Are Single-Tooth Implants?
Single-tooth dental implants are effective in replacing both a missing tooth and its root for long-standing results and a natural-looking appearance. This is a great cosmetic dentistry option for millions of Americans who suffer tooth loss from tooth decay, gum disease, or injury. The implants are actually titanium roots that are surgically inserted into the jaw, which causes osseointegration. This is the process where the bone fuses with the implant. Then, an abutment is screwed onto the implant followed by a restoration, such as a crown, that will form a natural-looking tooth. Global Implant Dentistry provides this dental solution, which also prevents bone loss, tooth movement, and other issues related to missing teeth.
Our team strives to ensure every patient is comfortable during their procedure. We offer several sedative options, like nitrous oxide or IV sedation solutions, to help increase your comfort, diminish stress, and encourage positive dental care experiences. If you want to change your life for the better and make an impact on your self-confidence, schedule a consultation with our Tustin, CA office to find out more about single-tooth implants.

Am I A Good Candidate?
The ideal patient for getting a single-tooth implant is a person with overall good gum and jaw health who is missing one or two teeth. A lost tooth is more than just a cosmetic issue because it can make it hard to eat, smile, and talk. It can also result in movement in your other teeth that makes your smile uneven. An implant could possibly be an choice to replace an older bridge if you want a more stable restoration with fewer diet constraints. Before recommending single-tooth implants, our team will examine all possible choices for replacing your lost tooth/teeth, and plan the ideal type of treatment for your particular needs and wants.
What Is the Process for Single-Tooth Implants?
During the examination, we will assess your teeth and jawbone to ensure you have a sufficient amount of healthy bone to support the implant. We will take digital x-rays and impressions of your mouth to create a template for precise placement. The implant will be placed in the jawbone during a simple surgical procedure. Typically, it takes 3 – 6 months for the bone to heal and fuse to the titanium post, forming a strong foundation for the replacement tooth. After the jaw has healed sufficiently, our implant surgery team will attach the replacement tooth to the implant, which will restore the form and function of the tooth.
To keep the new dental implant in its best condition, patients should maintain a good oral health routine, including brushing their teeth twice a day, flossing, and visiting the dentist at least twice a year for a dental exam and cleaning. Patients who smoke are encouraged to quit after their implant is in place since smoking weakens the bones and may lead to implant failure. Patients should also avoid chewing on hard foods, including ice and hard candy, to avoid breaking the dental crown.
What Should I Expect After A Single-Tooth Implant?
Men and women who receive this treatment could have a small amount of puffiness, discoloration, and pain close to the treated spot. Prescribed or drugstore pain meds and cool compresses may help lessen their post-treatment aches or pains. When the titanium implant has combined with the jaw and the custom restoration is placed, it's important to follow a good oral hygiene program with efficient tooth brushing and flossing practices. When patients visit Global Implant Dentistry for their biannual dental visits, our team will employ precise dental instruments to clean their implants and assess the function of their tooth replacements.
Global Implant Dentistry Reviews
From the moment you walk into Global Implant Dentistry, you can feel it is a family atmosphere. All of my fears, worries and apprehensions about having a major dental procedure were put at ease after meeting with Dr Joshi. He clearly and patiently explained every aspect about the All On Four procedure and after having a thorough exam we both decided it was the right procedure for me. All of the staff at the office are exceptional. Lilly at the front desk greeted me and my family at each appointment and she coordinated with other staff to make sure I was always seen on time. She also communicated with my wife the day before the procedure, the day of surgery, and the following week. The techs and the lab director were also phenomenal. Their patient care was evident in how they treated me with respect and they valued my opinions. This was a life changing procedure and the whole team at Global Implant Dentistry came alongside with me to create a set of dental implants that look absolutely natural and beautiful.
Over the last 6 months, I have visited 7 top rated implant specialist, orthodontics, endodontics and Cosmetic dentist in San Diego, Beverly Hills, Westwood and Temecula. In all honesty, I was unable to find the right dentist I could trust. Either the staff was unfriendly, office was not sanitary or the dentist thought my mouth was a ATM machine to cover their office and staff overhead by making recommendations that were not I’m my best interest. GLOBAL IMPLANT DENTISTRY IS THE BEST IN EVERY CATEGORY. I came home and told my wife because she needs 3 implants, but was waiting for me to find the right dental practice I was very impressed with the entire operation .

Thank you Global Implant Dentistry. I came in for a few dental implants with lots of anxiety regarding the process. I was super surprised how welcoming this practice is and how supportive they are. I spoke with Jarett over the phone to book my appt and then when I came in, Lilly (office manager) was super calming and supportive, thank you so much, she walked me through the whole implant process. I then spoke with Dr Joshi who gave me his recommendations. What I really loved about Global Implant Dentistry was how experienced and relaxed Dr. Joshi was; it seemed like he had been placing implants forever. No question was too much, he described everything in detail and walked me through the building so i could see how clean and modern everything was. 5 stars! Highly recommend Dr Joshi for all your dental implants! Thank you soooo much!
There truly a blessing From the moment you walk in all staff So kind and caring. I highly recommend them to any and everyone who is looking for dental implants .simply an answrd prayer!!!tyjesus!!

About UsSingle-Tooth Implants FAQs
How long does a single-tooth implant last?
When cared for properly, a single-tooth implant can last for a lifetime. However, it is important to continue to attend regular dental exams and cleanings so that your implant can be evaluated. Our skilled dental team will be able to determine if or when your implant may need to be replaced.
Does a single-tooth implant hurt?
A local anesthetic will be used during your implant placement procedure to allow you to remain as comfortable as possible. Since the area will be numb, you should not feel any discomfort. Additional sedation options may also be available to help ease any dental anxieties.
How soon after a tooth extraction can I receive a single-tooth implant?
Following a tooth extraction, you may need to wait 2 – 3 months in order to allow the area to heal. Additionally, if an oral infection is detected, that will need to clear up before an implant can be placed. Our team at Global Implant Dentistry will be able to provide you with an accurate treatment timeline and aftercare instructions for your best results.
