Single Tooth Implants in Glenpool, OK

One Tooth. One Solution. Lasting Confidence.

If you’re missing a tooth due to injury, decay, or extraction, a dental implant is the most secure and natural-looking way to restore your smile. At Glenpool Dental Group, we specialize in single tooth implants — a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like your original tooth.

Unlike bridges or partials, implants preserve your jawbone, don’t rely on surrounding teeth, and are built to last a lifetime with proper care.

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is a standalone tooth replacement that includes three parts:

1. Implant Post: A small titanium screw placed in the jawbone to serve as the tooth root.
   
2. Abutment: A connector piece that attaches the implant to the restoration.
   
3. Dental Crown: A custom-crafted crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
   

Together, these components create a permanent, functional replacement that restores both appearance and oral health.

Benefits of Dental Implants for Single Tooth Loss

Single tooth implants are considered the gold standard for individual tooth replacement — and for good reason:

• No impact on neighboring teeth (unlike traditional bridges)
  
• Prevents bone loss in the jaw
  
• Restores bite strength and chewing ability
  
• Feels and functions like a real tooth
  
• Permanent and low-maintenance
  
• Highly aesthetic and natural-looking
  

They’re ideal for front or back teeth and can be color-matched to blend perfectly with your smile.

The Single Tooth Implant Process

Your treatment is completed in phases to ensure long-term success and optimal healing:

1. Consultation & Planning: We evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and goals. Digital imaging is used to plan precise placement.
   
2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. Healing takes several months as the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration).
   
3. Abutment & Restoration: Once healed, we attach the abutment and place your custom dental crown for a fully restored, functional tooth.
   

Throughout the process, we prioritize comfort, precision, and long-term results.

Am I a Candidate for a Single Tooth Implant?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are missing one tooth
  
• Have sufficient jawbone density or are willing to undergo bone grafting
  
• Are in generally good oral and overall health
  
• Don’t smoke or are committed to quitting during the healing process
  

If you're not a candidate right away, we offer alternative solutions and pre-treatment options to help you qualify.

Implant vs. Bridge: What’s the Difference?

While bridges are effective, they require modifying the healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth. Implants, on the other hand:

• Are self-supporting
  
• Preserve surrounding teeth
  
• Stimulate the jawbone
  
• Typically last longer with fewer replacements
  

We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each option during your consultation.
