About Dental Implant for a Single Tooth
in Orlando, FL – Expert Care You Can Trust
Missing a Tooth?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they replace both the root and the crown, which preserves bone health, maintains the natural facial structure and gives the look, feel, confidence and function of a natural healthy tooth.
The term Dental Implants is often used generically to refer to the two separate components – the implant and the crown.

What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is the small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act like the root of the natural tooth. Once healed, the implant supports a realistic-looking crown which looks, feels and functions like your own natural tooth. When you’re missing one tooth, you only need one implant to support a single crown. If you are missing more than one tooth there may be options which allow us to place several crowns (even a full arc) with less than one implant per crown.
At Orofacial & Dental Implant Surgery, we believe that every patient deserves expert care, clear answers, and life-changing results. We proudly serve patients throughout Orlando, FL, offering Dental Implants for single or multiple teeth.
Why Oral Surgery Board Certification Matters
At Orofacial & Dental Implant Surgery, your care is led by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. This distinction means your surgeon has completed:
- Many years of additional training and education after dental school
- Rigorous training in anesthesia, complex surgery, and emergency care
- Certification through the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS)
Choosing a board-certified oral surgeon in Orlando, FL ensures you're receiving care from someone held to the highest standards of education, ethics, and experience.
