Single Implants in Lake Nona, FL
A single dental implant is considered the gold standard for replacing one missing tooth. The treatment consists of a biocompatible titanium implant that functions as an artificial tooth root, topped with a custom-crafted dental crown designed to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Unlike traditional dental bridges, a single implant does not rely on neighboring teeth for support, allowing healthy teeth to remain untouched while providing exceptional stability and durability.
At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, every implant restoration is carefully planned using advanced digital technology to ensure optimal function, comfort, and natural aesthetics.
Single dental implants provide numerous long-term advantages for patients seeking a permanent replacement for a missing tooth.
Natural Appearance
Each implant crown is custom-designed to match the color, shape, and contour of your natural teeth for a seamless smile.
Long-Term Tooth Replacement
With proper care, dental implants can provide decades of dependable function and excellent aesthetics.
Preserves Jawbone Health
The implant stimulates the jawbone much like a natural tooth root, helping reduce bone loss after tooth loss.
Protects Adjacent Teeth
Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require reshaping neighboring healthy teeth.
Improved Chewing Efficiency
Implants restore biting strength, allowing you to comfortably enjoy a wide variety of foods.
Stable and Comfortable
Because the implant is anchored directly into the jawbone, it will not shift or move while speaking or eating.
Supports Overall Oral Health
Replacing a missing tooth helps maintain proper tooth alignment and reduces the risk of future dental complications.

Our Single Dental Implant Process
Every successful implant begins with thoughtful planning and precise execution. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, we guide patients through each phase of treatment with careful attention to detail.
1. Comprehensive Consultation
Your visit begins with a complete oral examination, digital imaging, and a discussion of your concerns, goals, and treatment options.
2. Digital Treatment Planning
Using advanced CBCT imaging and digital diagnostics, we evaluate bone quality and determine the ideal implant position for predictable long-term success.
3. Implant Placement
The titanium implant is carefully placed into the jawbone using precise surgical techniques designed to maximize stability and promote successful healing.
4. Healing & Osseointegration
Over the following months, the implant naturally integrates with the surrounding bone through a process known as osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for your new tooth.
5. Custom Implant Crown Placement
Once healing is complete, a custom-crafted porcelain crown is securely attached to the implant, restoring your smile with exceptional aesthetics and function.
The cost of a single dental implant depends on several factors, including your oral health, the need for preparatory procedures, and the complexity of your treatment plan.
Common factors influencing treatment costs include:
- Dental implant placement
- Custom implant crown fabrication
- Bone grafting, if necessary
- Tooth extraction before implant placement
- Digital imaging and diagnostics
- Sedation options
- Overall restorative complexity
Although dental implants represent a greater initial investment than some alternative treatments, they often provide superior long-term value due to their durability, functionality, and ability to preserve oral health.
During your consultation, we will provide a personalized treatment plan along with a transparent cost estimate based on your specific needs.
