What is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is the most effective way to replace a missing tooth without affecting the surrounding teeth. The procedure involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial root.

Once the implant fuses with the bone, a custom ceramic crown is attached, restoring the tooth’s appearance, strength, and function. Unlike bridges or partial dentures, a single implant stands alone, preserving the health of nearby teeth and preventing bone loss in the jaw.

DECADES OF Trust, TOLD BY OUR Patients

"I recently started my Invisalign treatment and honestly, the service I received was above my expectations. Dr. Sean used a 3D scanner to give me a detailed look at my teeth, which made everything so clear. Trustworthy and effective. He’s not just a dentist; he’s truly passionate about his work. His approach made me feel comfortable and confident in my treatment decision. Extremely grateful for the care I received"

"After getting my cleaning and exams, I can't say enough good things. The staff was welcoming and accommodating, which really helped me relax. I had internal bleaching done for my root canal treated tooth, and the results were nothing short of amazing. Dr. Sunyoto’s professionalism stood out to me. It truly was a painless experience. I left with a brighter smile and more confidence. Strongly recommend stopping by!"

"By far the best experience at a Dentist I have ever had. I am a new patient and both my cleaning and fillings were painless which is just a testimony of how gentle and caring they are. Everybody is so nice, listening, helping and taking into account my questions. Making appointments, finding parking is also super easy. Wait am I actually liking going to the dentist now?! I may."

Benoit O.

"I went in for wisdom teeth pain that I should’ve had extracted over 15 years ago. I was nervous having them extracted as I’m over 30 and I’ve heard all the stories. Dr. Sean and his staff made me feel very comfortable and the entire process was actually and honestly a breeze. He was able to remove three teeth in an hour and the days following had very minimal pain and swelling. Thank you, Dr. Sean and staff, you have a new patient as long as I live in Pasadena"
