Single Implant Dentures
Single-Tooth Implant Solutions for Natural Smiles in Perth
At Signature Dental, we provide single tooth implants as a long-lasting solution for patients missing just one tooth. Unlike removable options such as bridges or partial dentures, a single implant restores both the appearance and function of your natural tooth with unmatched stability.
A single tooth implant involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial root. Once healed, a custom-made dental crown is attached to the implant, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.

The Treatment Process
- Initial Consultation – Assessment of your oral health and bone density.
- Implant Placement – A titanium implant is surgically placed in the jawbone.
- Healing Phase – The implant integrates with the bone (osseointegration).
- Crown Placement – A custom crown is attached, completing your new tooth.
Benefits of Single Tooth Implants
- Enhanced Stability: A titanium implant anchors the denture securely to the jawbone, preventing slippage while eating or speaking.
- Improved Comfort: Custom-made for a perfect fit, these dentures eliminate adhesives and reduce gum irritation.
- Natural Look & Feel: Matches your existing teeth in shape and colour.
- Permanent Solution: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
- Preserves Jawbone: Prevents bone loss that often follows tooth loss.
- No Impact on Neighbouring Teeth: Unlike bridges, adjacent teeth don’t need to be filed down.
- Improved Function: Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the implant placement procedure painful?
The implant placement procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring that you feel little to no discomfort during the process. Your dentist will also provide post-operative care instructions to manage any mild discomfort you may experience afterward.
How long does the implant integration process take?
The process of integrating the implant with the jawbone, known as osseointegration, usually takes a few months. During this time, the implant fuses with the bone, providing a stable foundation for the denture.
Can anyone get single-implant dentures?
While single-implant dentures are suitable for most individuals with missing teeth, it is important to undergo a comprehensive dental examination to determine your eligibility. Factors such as overall oral health, bone density, and medical history are taken into consideration.
