Single Tooth Implants in Highlands Ranch

Single-tooth implants replace both the visible crown and the missing tooth’s root. This prevents bone loss in the jaw, keeps neighboring teeth from shifting, and maintains the natural structure of your mouth. Unlike bridges, single-tooth implants don’t require alterations to adjacent teeth, making them a great choice for your oral health. With single-tooth implants, you’ll enjoy the full functionality of a natural tooth and a beautiful, complete smile.

Dr. Twiss’ Expertise in Dental Implants
Dr. Tyler Twiss holds a Fellowship with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI). He spent over 150 hours refining his implant placement skills under Dr. Carl Misch, a renowned pioneer of dental implants. His skill ensures that your single-tooth implant will be placed with great care and precision.

Receiving Your Single Tooth Implant
The first step is your consultation. Dr. Twiss will use advanced imaging technology to ensure you’re a good candidate for a single-tooth implant, with healthy gums and a strong jawbone. If any problems are detected, we’ll address those before moving forward with the implant.

When it’s time for your dental implant surgery, Dr. Twiss will place a small titanium post into the jawbone. Over the next few months, it will fuse with your jawbone like a natural tooth root, forming a stable foundation for the crown.

Once the post has been integrated, Dr. Twiss will place a custom-made crown on top, crafted to match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color. Your new implant will function just like a natural tooth and allow you to do–and eat–the things you love.
