A New Beginning For Your Smile with Single Tooth Dental Implants
Distinctive Dentistry treats hundreds of patients every year who have lost a single tooth, whether in the front or at the back. Although dental bridges or partials can replace one missing tooth, none comes close to dental implants. A dental implant is a stand-alone tooth replacement anchored directly in the jawbone. It’s stable, lasts many years, and doesn’t rely on the surrounding teeth for support.
Searching for a dentist offering single-tooth implants in Eugene, Oregon? Please schedule an appointment with Drs. Ty Jaros, Jacob Gubrud, and Robert J. Gemmell. We combine top-of-the-line technologies with precision skills to place functional and natural-looking dental implants.
How does an implant replace a single missing tooth?
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium screw positioned in the jawbone in the same position your tooth used to be. Since the implant is made from “tissue-friendly” material, it fuses with the jawbone over time to form an unbreakable bond, stable enough to replace one or more prosthetic teeth.
A dental implant doesn’t work alone. The dentist attaches an abutment on top of the implant to give it height and link it to the final restoration. The last component of the implant is a crown, created to match the exact specifications of your tooth.
How are dental implants placed?
Our office places functional and solid dental implants, and it all starts with meticulous planning. The dentist will thoroughly inquire into your dental and medical history and discuss your expectations in detail. Our dentists also use advanced imaging tools, including digital X-rays and 3D scans, to visualize your jawbone for optimal implant placement.
After a detailed consultation and treatment plan, here’s what you can expect from your dental implant treatment.
- Pre-surgery procedures, including bone grafting and dental extractions, where necessary
- Surgical implantation of the titanium post at a precise location in the jawbone
- We’ll leave the implant for several months to heal and fuse with the jawbone
- A minor surgery to place an abutment after the implant has fully integrated with the bone
- Placing a dental crown to restore your implant’s function and aesthetics
Our office has placed hundreds of implants for many years, so you can expect a refined and seamless procedure from start to finish. The treatment is also comfortable. Our doctors use powerful modern anesthetics to ensure you don’t feel pain during treatment. We also offer sedation dentistry to calm the nerves of dental-phobic patients.

Will my implant look natural?
For those with a missing tooth in the front, we know how this can affect your confidence and aesthetics. Dental implants on the front look very lifelike. The implant is topped with a custom-made crown designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless fit within your smile. Our office designs the final restoration with state-of-the-art materials, which closely mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. When your entire dental implant comes into life, it is very difficult to tell the difference between your implant and your natural teeth.
