Missing a tooth that shows when you smile? If you’re in Moonee Ponds and looking into a single tooth dental implant, you’re probably wondering how natural the finished result will look, and what you’ll do about the gap in the meantime.
A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with a small implant placed in the jaw and a custom-made crown on top. The crown is made to suit your surrounding teeth in shape, size and colour. At Dental @ Niddrie Plaza, we’ll examine the area, explain whether an implant suits your situation and talk you through the likely process and costs before you decide anything.

A single tooth dental implant replaces one missing tooth using three parts: an implant, an abutment and a crown. Unlike a traditional bridge, it doesn’t rely on the neighbouring teeth for support.
Yes, implants can be considered for front or back teeth. Replacing a front tooth, though, needs particularly careful attention to appearance, gum position and the surrounding teeth.
Your implant crown is made to suit the teeth around it in shape, size and colour. How the finished result looks can also depend on the tooth being replaced, the surrounding tissues and your individual circumstances, which is why a front tooth implant is planned carefully from the first consultation.
After the implant is placed, it needs time to heal before the final crown is fitted. You don’t necessarily have to live with a visible gap during this time. Depending on your treatment plan, your dentist may discuss a temporary denture, temporary bridge or provisional tooth. For a front tooth, where appearance is often a major concern, it’s worth raising this before treatment starts.
For a back tooth, your bite and how the replacement tooth needs to function are key parts of planning. When the final crown is fitted, its shape, colour and bite are all taken into account.
An implant isn’t automatically the best choice for everyone. Your dentist will look at:
For some people, a bridge or another form of tooth replacement may be more appropriate.
From initial planning to the final crown usually takes several months. Your dentist can give you a more specific timeframe after your assessment.
There’s no set price for a single tooth implant, because treatment differs from person to person. The fee depends on the implant and crown, the condition of the treatment area, imaging, preparatory procedures and any additional treatment required. We’ll explain the proposed treatment and associated costs before you proceed.
Payment options including Zip, Afterpay and humm may help you spread the cost of eligible treatment.

Yes, a single implant can be considered for a front tooth. Replacing a front tooth requires particularly careful attention to appearance, gum position and the surrounding teeth, so your dentist will assess the area before recommending an approach.
A single implant crown is designed to blend with the surrounding teeth, with shape, size and colour considered during the restoration. The finished appearance can depend on the tooth being replaced, the surrounding tissues and your individual circumstances.
Depending on your treatment plan, options can include a temporary denture, temporary bridge or provisional restoration. Your dentist will recommend an approach based on the implant site and healing requirements, so discuss this before treatment begins.
Neither is automatically better. For a front tooth, the decision can involve extra aesthetic considerations. Your dentist will compare the options based on the neighbouring teeth, the gum and bone in the area, your oral health and your preferences.
There’s no set price. The total depends on your treatment plan, including the implant, crown, imaging and any preparatory treatment. Dental @ Niddrie Plaza provides a personalised quote before treatment and offers Zip, Afterpay and humm for eligible treatment.
It usually takes several months from initial planning to the final crown, because the implant needs time to heal and integrate with the jawbone. The exact timeline depends on your oral health, the tooth’s location and whether additional treatment is needed.
