Single Tooth
Dental Implants in Melbourne

A single tooth dental implant in Melbourne is a simple and lasting solution to replace a missing tooth. Using a small titanium screw that acts as your natural tooth root, the implant securely supports a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your smile. It restores full function, protects surrounding teeth, and maintains jawbone strength for long-term oral health and confidence.

High Dental Implants Melbourne provides single tooth implant treatment for patients with one missing tooth. A consultation helps assess gum health, bone support and suitability before treatment is recommended.

A single tooth implant, also called a one tooth implant or a missing tooth implant, replaces one tooth with a titanium post in the jaw and a crown on top, without altering the teeth either side.
Treatment runs in three stages: implant placement, a healing period while the implant integrates with the bone, then the crown.
Most single tooth implant treatment at High Dental Implants Melbourne takes several months from placement to final crown.
Implant placement starts from $2,500 and the crown starts from $2,500 at High Dental Implants Melbourne.

Replace Missing Teeth
Easily with Dental Implants

Losing a tooth can be devastating but did you know that your tooth could be replaced quickly and easily with a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that integrates perfectly into your gum tissue, just where the root of your tooth would sit.

Here’s how it works:
The screw will be surgically placed directly into your jaw by your dentist. Its shape and material are optimal for close contact and ultimately fusion with bone, providing maximum stability later on.
Depending on the condition of your mouth and jawbone, the implant ‘abutment’ (the crown or bridge that fits onto the screw) may be added immediately after the screw is inserted, or sometimes it may be added at a later date. It will blend in perfectly with your natural teeth in colour and shape.
Either way, there will be some healing time. The screw will slowly mesh with the bone, becoming a natural component of your jaw.

Your implant will look and feel exactly like a normal tooth: no one will ever know, and even you might forget! You will still be able to bite and chew normally, and the bone in your jaw will remain intact over time.

Disclaimer: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs about Single Tooth Dental Implants

What exactly is a single tooth dental implant, and how does it replace a missing tooth?

A single tooth implant is a comprehensive dental implant solution that replaces both the root and the visible tooth. It involves surgically placing a small titanium screw into your jawbone, where it acts as the artificial tooth root. Once healed, this post securely supports a custom-made crown that is designed to blend seamlessly in color and shape with your natural teeth.

What are the main benefits of choosing a single tooth implant over other options?

Single tooth implants offer several key, long-term advantages:

  • Restored Function: They allow you to bite and chew normally, just like a natural tooth.
  • Bone Preservation: The titanium screw stimulates and maintains your bone density, preserving the integral structure of your face and preventing the jawbone from deteriorating.
  • Protection of Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down the surrounding healthy teeth for support.
What is the process for receiving a single tooth implant?

The process typically involves two main stages:

  • Implant Placement: The titanium screw is surgically placed into the jawbone.
  • Abutment/Crown Placement: Depending on your jawbone’s condition, the custom-made crown may be added immediately or at a later date after a healing period, allowing the screw time to fuse with the bone (osseointegration) for maximum stability.
How long does a single tooth implant last?

Single tooth dental implants are considered a simple and lasting dental solution. With proper care and hygiene, the site states you can have the “reassuring knowledge that your implant will last you a lifetime.”

Does your dental clinic offer any financial assistance for a single tooth implant?

Yes, to help manage the cost, High Dental Implants Melbourne offers flexible payment options and can assist patients in applying for early access to their Superannuation to fund the procedure. The clinic also works with a wide range of health funds to help maximise rebates.

Is a single tooth implant better than a bridge?

It depends on the health of nearby teeth, bone support, bite and treatment goals so a consultation is needed.

Will the implant crown look natural?

The final crown is planned to blend with nearby teeth where possible but individual results vary.

Do I need bone grafting for one implant?

Some patients may need bone grafting if bone support is not adequate for implant placement.

How much does a single tooth implant cost in Melbourne?

A single tooth implant in Melbourne starts from $2,500 for the implant placement at High Dental Implants Melbourne, with the crown that restores it starting from a further $2,500. Whether you need bone grafting first and which crown material you choose both affect the final figure. The full fee schedule, including payment plan and health fund options, is set out on our dental implant fees page.

How long does a single tooth implant take from start to finish?

A single tooth implant usually takes several months from placement to final crown. The implant is placed first, then left to integrate with the jawbone over a healing period of a few months, and the crown is fitted once that integration is confirmed. A temporary tooth can be worn in the meantime where the gap is visible. Healing times vary between patients.

Does a single tooth implant hurt?

Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the site is numb during the procedure. Most patients describe some swelling and tenderness for a few days afterwards, managed with simple pain relief and an ice pack. Sedation is available if you feel anxious about surgery, and the options are explained on our sedation page.

Do I need a bone graft for one implant?

Not every single tooth implant needs a bone graft. A graft is used where the jaw has lost height or width at the site, which is common when a tooth has been missing for a long time. A 3D scan at your consultation shows whether there is enough bone, and bone grafting starts from $1,500 where it is needed.

What happens if I leave a gap instead of replacing the tooth?

When a gap is left, the bone that once supported the tooth gradually reduces, the teeth either side can drift towards the space and the opposing tooth can over-erupt. Chewing load shifts onto the remaining teeth. This is why High Dental Implants Melbourne assesses the site early, since bone loss over time can make later implant treatment more involved.

How do I look after a single tooth implant?

Care for a single tooth implant the way you care for a natural tooth: brush twice a day, clean between the teeth daily with floss or an interdental brush, and keep up regular check-ups so the gum around the implant can be monitored. Implants cannot decay, but the gum and bone holding them can be affected by plaque, which is what maintenance visits are for.
