The idea of getting dental implants can be daunting, even if it’s just one. However, a single tooth implant could be the best way to replace a missing tooth and maintain full functionality as well as a natural appearance.
Considering a single tooth implant in Perth and Como? No job is too small for our dental professionals. Here’s all you need to know before your procedure to put your mind at ease.
A single tooth implant is a permanent solution to replace a missing tooth and includes three components: a titanium screw, an abutment, and a crown. First, the titanium screw is surgically placed into the jawbone and acts as a replacement tooth root. Then, the abutment or connecting piece is attached to the screw, and a custom-made crown is placed on top, restoring the missing tooth’s function and appearance.
No more gaps or feeling self-conscious
Chew, talk, and smile with ease once again
Gaps can lead to shifting teeth and bacteria

Our single tooth implant Perth cost varies depending on the specific case but generally ranges from $3,999 to $4,250. This includes the implant post, abutment, and crown, as well as necessary follow-up appointments. Extra procedures for each dental implant treatment, like bone grafting or sinus lifts, may increase the cost.
Be aware that some dental clinics advertise lower costs of dental implants – these reduced prices are typically for the implant post or anchor alone. However, without the abutment and crown, completing the restoration is impossible. At JC Dental Como, we offer affordable dental implants Perth offered by highly-trained, compassionate dentists.

Your chosen implant dentist in Perth will give you a comprehensive examination and ask about your medical history. You may need to have X-rays and 3D scans to assess bone density and structure. Then, your dentist will develop a treatment plan for you, including an implant cost estimate and a timeline.
Your single tooth implant will be placed in the dentist’s chair. Local anaesthetic is administered to numb the area. Your dentist will make a small incision in the gum to expose the jawbone, and surgically place a titanium implant into the jawbone. Your gum is then stitched closed, and a temporary crown may be placed.
The implant needs time to fuse with the surrounding bone, which typically takes 3 to 6 months. Regular check-ups are essential to monitor the healing progress. Your dentist may adjust the temporary crown as needed.
At your follow-up appointment, the final crown is placed and adjusted for a perfect fit and bite. You’ll walk out of this appointment with an artificial tooth that looks, feels, and works just like your natural teeth!
Most dentists recommend a scale and polish every six months. But people prone to gum disease or other issues may need more frequent visits.
You’re a good candidate for a single tooth implant if you’re missing a tooth, have a strong, healthy jawbone, have good oral health and good overall health. If you’re on chronic medication or have a medical condition, you may have to check with your doctor before any dental surgeries.
Yes, a dental bridge could be a good alternative if you’d prefer not to have surgery. You could also opt for a resin-bonded bridge, although it’s less durable. For a removable solution, choose partial dentures instead of an implant.
There’s a small risk of damage to adjacent teeth, nerve damage, and the implant failing to osseointegrate. However, these risks can be significantly reduced by choosing a reputable dentist and maintaining good oral care.
With the right care, a single tooth implant can last a lifetime. Regular dental visits are essential, and you’ll need to maintain excellent oral care at home, too.
The dental implant procedure itself is not painful because it’s done under local anaesthesia. Some discomfort, swelling, and possibly bruising may occur after the anaesthetic wears off, but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. If you experience pain after 10 days, visit your dentist for a check-up.
