What Is a Single Dental Implant?

A single dental implant is a complete tooth replacement designed to restore both the visible crown and the root of a missing tooth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it safely integrates through osseointegration. After healing, a custom ceramic crown is securely attached to create a seamless and natural appearance.

The Single Dental Implant Process

Step 1 — Consultation & Digital Scan

We begin with a detailed evaluation and 3D cone-beam CT scan to assess bone quality, tooth spacing, and the ideal implant position.

Step 2 — Implant Placement

Using digital-guided surgery, Dr. Kharmouche places the titanium implant with exact precision to maximize long-term stability.

Step 3 — Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next several months, your bone bonds to the implant, forming a strong and permanent foundation.

Step 4 — Custom Crown Attachment

A hand-crafted ceramic crown is secured to the implant, completing your smile with a natural, seamless finish.
