Single-Tooth Implant in South Los Angeles, CA

What Is a Single-Tooth Implant?

A single-tooth implant is a complete tooth replacement solution. It involves a small titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a replacement for the root of your missing tooth.  Once the implant fuses with the bone, a custom-made dental crown is attached, providing a strong, stable, and natural-looking replacement for your missing tooth.
