Missing a tooth affects more than just your appearance, it can impact how you eat, speak, and smile. At Dunwoody Dental Health, we provide long-lasting, natural looking single dental implants in Dunwoody, GA, to restore strength, stability, and confidence to your smile. Our advanced implant solutions are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
Why Choose a Single Dental Implant?
A dental implant is the most durable and lifelike way to replace a missing tooth. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on neighboring teeth for support, an implant stands independently, protecting your surrounding teeth and jawbone.
Benefits of single dental implants include:
- Natural look and feel: Your implant is topped with a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your smile.
- Jawbone preservation: The implant replaces the tooth root, stimulating bone tissue and preventing bone loss.
- Protection for adjacent teeth: No need to alter healthy teeth to support a bridge.
- Strong and reliable: Enjoy eating and speaking with confidence, your implant restores natural bite function.
- Long-term investment: With proper care, your implant can last a lifetime.
Our Dental Implant Process
At Dunwoody Dental Health, we combine precision technology with personalized care to ensure the best possible outcome for every patient.
- Consultation & 3D Imaging: Your journey begins with a detailed examination, including 3D imaging and digital X-rays. We assess your bone health and create a customized treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: A small titanium post is placed in your jawbone to serve as the new tooth root. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under local anesthesia, with sedation options available for your comfort.
- Healing & Bone Integration: Over the next few months, your jawbone naturally fuses to the implant, a process known as osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for your restoration.
- Custom Abutment & Crown Placement: Once healed, we attach a custom abutment and a beautifully crafted crown designed to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. The result is a fully restored, functional, and beautiful smile.

Common Questions About Dental Implants
- Most patients experience very little discomfort. The procedure is gentle, and any soreness afterward can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
- The full process can take several months, allowing time for healing and integration. The result, however, is a permanent tooth replacement that can last for decades.
- Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth, daily brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings.
- Most healthy adults with one missing tooth and adequate jawbone density are good candidates. We’ll confirm your suitability during your consultation.
