Single Tooth Implants (Implant Crowns) in Orlando, FL

Elevated Implant Dentistry by a Board-Certified Prosthodontist

Single dental implant replacing one missing tooth at Makris Dental

When faced with tooth loss, dental implants are the best approach to dental restoration. With implants, you can once again enjoy a confident and natural-looking smile, while also protecting your remaining teeth from further breakdown and loss. Our practice is pleased to provide dental implant treatments for patients in Orlando.

Why Are Dental Implants the Preferred Method of Tooth Replacement?

There are a number of reasons why dental implants are considered the standard of care for patients who have experienced tooth loss. These include:

Implants are the only tooth replacement option that helps safeguard against the atrophy of the jawbone.
Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants do not require healthy adjacent teeth to be shaved down.
Dental implants boast a higher long-term success rate than any other tooth-replacement option (more than 95 percent).

These are just a few of the reasons why dental implants are the best option for most of our patients who have lost or are missing teeth, or who anticipate the need to have unhealthy teeth extracted.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants provide full functional and aesthetic restoration for patients’ smiles. Some additional benefits include:

Designed to Last a Lifetime

If you take care of your dental implants, brushing and flossing regularly while staying up to date with dental hygiene appointments, the implant itself often lasts for decades, and frequently a lifetime. The crown on top usually needs replacing after 10 to 15 years, which is normal maintenance rather than a failure of the implant.

Preserves Bone and Facial Structures

Your jawbone requires constant stimulation from the tooth root. Without it, the bone will atrophy. This not only complicates dental restoration but can also cause unwelcome changes to the appearance of your face. Dental implants actually function as artificial tooth roots, which means they actively promote healthy bone development.

A Healthier Smile

With many dental restoration options, including bridges and dentures, it is necessary to shave down healthy teeth to create additional room in the mouth. Dental implants do not require anything to be done to healthy teeth, allowing patients to preserve their smiles and maintain robust oral health.

Natural Appearance

Once your dental implants have been placed, patients will receive custom replacement teeth, which are carefully designed to replicate the look of their natural teeth. The results are seamless and aesthetically pleasing.

These are just a few of the benefits that patients in Orlando, FL, can expect from their dental implant procedures.

Planning the Position Before Surgery

Single tooth implant treatment is supported by sophisticated dental technology throughout the process. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, we utilize 3D cone beam CT imaging to analyze your bone structure, nerve locations, and sinus positions with exceptional detail.

Advanced treatment planning software allows Dr. Cokovska to virtually position implants at optimal angles and depths before surgery, creating surgical guides that ensure precise placement during the procedure. Digital impressions and CAD/CAM technology enable fabrication of your temporary prosthesis before surgery day, so it's ready for immediate placement once implants are secured.

How We Determine Whether an Implant Will Work

Your first visit is a full consultation with Dr. Cokovska. She reviews your medical history, examines the site and surrounding teeth, looks at any imaging your dentist has sent, and takes a 3D scan where needed. That scan is what establishes whether there is enough bone to anchor an implant and where it can sit.

One Practice, Start to Finish

The whole sequence stays in one practice: consultation, placement, and the crown that goes on top. You are not referred out partway through, and there is no second practice to coordinate with. If you have a general dentist you want to keep for routine care, we are glad to work alongside them.

01 Consultation

Your experience begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Elizabeta. She listens to your goals, answers your questions, and explains what your personalized plan will look like.

02 Planning

Together, you’ll create a treatment plan that fits your priorities and timeline, ensuring you feel prepared and supported at every stage.

03 Treatment

Your procedure is performed with precision and attention to detail, focusing on your comfort and long-term oral health.

04 Recovery

As you heal, the Makris Dental Prosthodontics team provides ongoing support and follow-up care to help you recover smoothly and confidently.

05 Your New Smile

The result is a smile that feels, looks, and functions naturally, helping you enjoy daily life with comfort and ease.

How Are Dental Implants Placed and Restored?

Some patients may require treatments to prepare their mouths for implants. Common examples include bone grafting and the extraction of non-viable teeth. Once these treatments are taken care of, you will be ready to schedule your dental implant placement.

Implant Placement

Dental implants are small titanium posts, which are placed into the jaw, where they act as artificial roots. With conventional implants, it takes many weeks for them to fully heal in place. With our emphasis on advanced regenerative technology, we are often able to provide immediate implant placement, which abbreviates the timeline and considerably expedites recovery.

The Crown, Made Here

The crown is made in our own laboratory on site and fitted here, not sent out or handed back to another practice. That means the implant is positioned according to where the crown needs to sit, the shade is matched against your own teeth in the building, and any adjustment happens the same day rather than at another appointment weeks later.

A Specialist, Not a Generalist

With experience operating over more than 15,000 dental implants, Dr. Elizabeta's expertise reflects her deep experience in implant and restorative dentistry as a board-certified prosthodontist. Her meticulous approach uses regenerative techniques and advanced planning to create results that are stable, natural, and built to last. Schedule your consultation at Makris Dental prosthodontics and experience the difference precision-driven implant care can make.

Common questions about Single Tooth Implants in Orlando, FL

What is a single tooth implant?

A single tooth implant is a permanent tooth replacement that uses a titanium post placed in the jawbone to support a custom dental crown. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics in Orlando, implant crowns restore strength, function, and natural appearance without affecting neighboring teeth.

Am I a candidate for a single tooth implant?

Candidates should have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant. Even if bone loss has occurred, bone grafting may be an option to prepare the area. Dr. Elizabeta Cokovska carefully evaluates bone quality, bite alignment, and overall oral health before recommending treatment. This prosthodontic-level planning helps ensure long-term stability and natural aesthetics.

How much does a single tooth implant cost in Orlando, FL?

The total cost usually includes the implant placement, abutment, and custom crown. Additional procedures such as bone grafting or tooth extraction may affect pricing. During your consultation at Makris Dental Prosthodontics, you’ll receive a detailed treatment plan outlining all costs and available payment options. While implants require an upfront investment, they often provide greater long-term value than bridges or removable options.

How long does the single tooth implant process take?

The single tooth implant process typically takes three to six months from placement to final crown, allowing time for the implant to integrate with the jawbone.

How long do single tooth implants last?

With proper care, a single tooth implant can last decades. The implant post may last a lifetime, while the crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years or longer.

Is a dental implant better than a bridge?

In many cases, a dental implant is a better long-term solution than a bridge because it does not require altering adjacent teeth and helps preserve jawbone health.

What does an implant crown look like?

An implant crown is custom-designed to match the color, shape, and contour of your natural teeth, creating a seamless appearance.

What should I expect during my implant consultation in Orlando?

Advanced imaging evaluates bone density and implant positioning. Your bite, gum health, and overall oral condition are carefully reviewed before treatment planning begins. Dr. Elizabeta Cokovska develops a customized approach designed for optimal aesthetics and structural support. Patients leave their consultation with a clear understanding of the process and confidence in their long-term solution.
