Single Tooth Implants in Rome, NY

Replace one missing tooth with something that looks and feels like the real thing.

Missing a tooth changes how you eat. You favor the other side. You avoid certain foods. You think about that gap every time you smile.

A single tooth implant gives you back what you lost — a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.

Here's why Dr. Candido prefers implants over bridges: A dental implant stands on its own. It doesn't depend on the teeth next to it. A bridge requires grinding down two perfectly healthy teeth just to fill one gap. That never made much sense to him.

An implant also keeps your jawbone healthy. When you lose a tooth, the bone underneath starts shrinking. An implant gives that bone a job again, which keeps it from deteriorating.

How Does A Single Tooth Implant Work?

A single tooth implant has three parts: The implant (a small titanium post that fuses with your jawbone over 3-4 months), the connector (a small piece that attaches once healed), and the crown (a custom-made tooth that looks and functions like your natural teeth).

Is A Dental Implant Better Than A Bridge?

For most people missing a single tooth, yes. A bridge fills the gap by attaching a false tooth to crowns on the neighboring teeth — permanently grinding down two healthy teeth. An implant stands alone. Your natural teeth stay untouched.

How Much Does A Single Tooth Implant Cost?

A single tooth implant typically costs $3,000-$5,000 total, including the implant post, connector, and crown. We offer financing and our membership plan provides 15% off.

Does Getting A Dental Implant Hurt?

Less than you'd expect. Dr. Candido hears "that was way easier than I thought" more than almost anything else. Here's something that makes a difference: Dr. Candido personally calls every surgical patient the evening after their procedure. Not a staff member — him.
