Losing just one tooth can still affect how you eat, speak and smile. If you’re in Pascoe Vale and looking at ways to replace a single missing tooth, a one tooth implant is one option, offering a replacement that’s fixed in place rather than removable.
At Dental @ Niddrie Plaza, we’ll examine the gap, explain whether a single tooth dental implant suits your situation, compare it with alternatives such as a bridge, and outline the likely treatment and costs before you decide.
Book online or call 03 9374 1222 to arrange a consultation.
The main options for replacing one missing tooth include a single dental implant, a dental bridge or another form of tooth replacement. The right choice depends on your gums, teeth, jawbone, bite and overall oral health, which your dentist will assess.
Uses a small titanium implant in the jawbone, an abutment and a crown to replace the tooth. It doesn’t use the neighbouring teeth as bridge supports.
Uses neighbouring teeth or other supports to hold the replacement tooth. The supporting teeth are prepared as part of treatment, and the process is usually shorter.
For some people, another form of tooth replacement may be more appropriate. Your dentist will discuss the options that fit your mouth, needs and circumstances.
An implant-supported crown is fixed in place rather than removable, like some other tooth-replacement options. Once treatment is complete, the crown is designed to remain in place while you eat, speak and go about your day.
Implants can be considered for different areas of the mouth.
For a back tooth, your bite and how the replacement tooth needs to function are central to planning. When the crown is fitted, its shape, colour and bite are all considered.
For a front tooth, appearance, gum position and the surrounding teeth need particularly careful attention, and temporary options during healing are often a key consideration.
This usually takes several months from initial planning to the final crown.
There’s no set price for a single implant. The fee depends on the implant and crown, the condition of the area, imaging, preparatory procedures and any additional treatment. We’ll explain the proposed treatment and costs before you proceed. Zip, Afterpay and humm are available for eligible treatment.
We’ll help you compare your options properly rather than rushing you into a decision. We’ll assess your needs, explain whether an implant may be suitable, discuss alternatives such as a bridge, walk through the stages and explain likely costs.

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 varies.
The implant is placed using local anaesthetic. Some tenderness, swelling or discomfort can occur afterwards and usually forms part of normal healing.
