A clear answer
What is a single-tooth dental implant?
A single-tooth dental implant replaces one missing tooth without relying on neighbouring teeth for support. It consists of an implant placed in the jawbone, a connecting component and a custom-made implant-supported dental crown.
Is an implant right for me?
A personalised assessment comes first
Dental implants may be considered for adults with a missing
tooth, a tooth that cannot predictably be restored or an
existing replacement that no longer meets their needs.
You have one missing tooth
An implant may replace the missing tooth while leaving adjacent teeth largely independent.
A tooth cannot be saved
When removal is necessary, an implant may be one of the replacement options discussed.
You want a fixed option
Some patients prefer to explore a fixed restoration rather than a removable partial denture.
You have healthy foundations
Bone volume, gum health, medical history and oral hygiene all influence suitability.
Understand your
options before
treatment begins
Your consultation is a chance to discuss the missing tooth, your dental
and medical history, expected stages, alternatives and likely costs.
There is no obligation to proceed.
- Clear explanations in practical language
- Suitability, risks and alternatives discussed
- Written treatment plan before treatment
Function, appearance and independence
Why might someone consider a
single-tooth implant?
A single implant may restore a gap without routinely preparing the teeth beside it. It is designed as a
fixed replacement, although suitability and outcomes depend on individual clinical factors.
Independent support
The implant supports its own crown and usually does not rely on neighbouring teeth for support.
Natural-looking design
The final crown is planned to complement the shape, shade and proportions of the surrounding teeth, where clinically appropriate.
Fixed restoration
The restoration stays in place for eating, speaking and everyday cleaning rather than being removed.
Long-term maintenance
Like natural teeth, an implant requires effective plaque control, healthy gums and ongoing professional review.
How does single-tooth implant
treatment work?
The timing and number of appointments vary. The steps below show the usual treatment pathway for a
suitable patient.
Free consultation
Discuss the missing tooth, concerns, expectations and possible options.
Clinical assessment
Your teeth, gums, bite, health history and available bone are assessed.
Digital planning
Digital scans are completed and CBCT imaging may be arranged externally if required.
Implant placement
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic according to the agreed plan.
Healing period
The implant is given time to integrate with the surrounding bone.
Final crown
A custom implant supported crown is fitted and your bite, comfort and cleaning access are reviewed.
How Is a Single Dental Implant Placed?
Before treatment
What is assessed before an implant is recommended?
A careful assessment helps determine whether an implant is appropriate and whether any additional planning is required.
Dental and medical history
Health conditions, medications, smoking or vaping and factors that may affect healing are reviewed.
Teeth, gums and bite
The surrounding teeth, gum health, available space and bite forces are examined.
Bone and imaging
Digital records are taken, and external CBCT imaging may be arranged when three-dimensional assessment is needed.
Alternatives and expectations
Benefits, limitations, risks, likely stages, costs and suitable alternatives are discussed before consent.
Digital dental scanning
A digital scan creates a detailed record of the teeth and bite to support personalised implant planning.
Imaging and anatomical assessment
Imaging helps assess available bone and nearby anatomical structures. External CBCT imaging may be arranged when required.
Designed to replace one tooth
Three components, one complete restoration
1
Dental crown
The visible restoration is shaped and shaded to work with the surrounding teeth.
2
Connecting component
The abutment securely connects the crown to the implant beneath the gum.
3
Implant
The implant is positioned in the jawbone to support the final restoration.

STRAUMANN® IMPLANT SYSTEM
A premium Swiss
implant system
Dr Raymond Platon & Associates uses Straumann® implant components for suitable single-tooth implant cases. The system selected for you will be discussed as part of your individual treatment plan.
Understand the alternatives
Implant, bridge or removable
denture?
The right option depends on the gap, neighbouring teeth, bone and gum health, preferences, timing and budget.
This table is a general comparison only. Your dentist will explain which options may be clinically appropriate for you.
After treatment
Healing, aftercare and long-term maintenance
Good healing and long-term implant health depend on careful home care, review appointments and management of individual risk factors.
Our Wetherill Park team can help coordinate review visits and long-term preventive care after implant treatment.
What should patients understand
before treatment?
Dental implant treatment is a surgical procedure. Most planning decisions are individual, and no result or
treatment lifespan can be guaranteed.
Healing varies
Integration with the jawbone takes time. Healing may be influenced by bone quality, gum health, general health, smoking, oral hygiene and whether grafting is required.
Complications are possible
Potential concerns include infection, delayed healing, implant integration problems, gum recession, damage to nearby structures or later inflammation around the implant. Your individual risks will be explained.
Maintenance is essential
The crown cannot develop decay, but plaque and inflammation can affect the surrounding gum and bone. Daily cleaning and professional maintenance remain important.
