Single Tooth Anterior Implants in Lewis Center, Ohio

A Real, Lasting Solution for Front Tooth Loss

Losing a front tooth is a big deal. It’s not just about looks—it affects how you speak, how you eat, and, let’s face it, how you feel about smiling. For many of our patients, it’s something they never expected to deal with. But when it happens, we’re here to help with one of the most natural-looking and long-lasting solutions available: single tooth anterior implants.

At Oral Implants & Reconstructive Dentistry in Lewis Center, Ohio, we specialize in restoring smiles with precision and care. Whether your tooth was lost due to injury, infection, or another issue, our approach blends advanced technology with an eye for artistry—so your new tooth looks and feels just right.

What Exactly Is a Single Tooth Anterior Implant?

Think of it as a custom-built replacement for your missing front tooth. A small titanium post is gently placed into your jawbone, acting as a new tooth root. Over time, your bone bonds with the implant, creating a solid base for a lifelike crown that blends beautifully with your natural teeth.

But here’s the thing: anterior implants are in the spotlight. Unlike molars that hide in the back, your front teeth are on full display when you smile, laugh, or talk. That’s why these procedures require extra attention to detail—from the shape and shade of your crown to how your gum tissue frames it. When done right, most people won’t be able to tell you ever lost a tooth.

Why It Matters in Cosmetic Implant Dentistry

Front tooth implants aren’t just another dental fix. They’re a fusion of function and aesthetics, and one of the most delicate procedures in cosmetic implant dentistry.

At OIRD, we’ve seen firsthand how the smallest nuance—a subtle curve in the gumline or the way light hits your crown—can make all the difference. That’s why we approach each anterior case with both surgical expertise and an artist’s eye. Because restoring a tooth isn’t just about what we add—it’s about what we preserve: your smile, your confidence.

How the Implant Process Works

Here’s what you can expect when you move forward with a single anterior implant at our Lewis Center office:

Step 1: Planning and Prep

We start with a full evaluation, including x-rays, 3D scans, and sometimes a wax model of your future smile. This gives us a roadmap for the rest of your treatment.

Step 2: Extraction and Grafting

If your tooth is still in place but can’t be saved, we’ll remove it gently. Then we’ll graft the area to build up bone for the implant.

Step 3: Placing the Implant

Once the site has healed, we place the titanium post. This part is carefully planned for both strength and appearance.

Step 4: Training Crown

A training crown is placed to guide gum healing. It gives your smile a finished look while the area matures.

Step 5: Final Crown Placement

After healing is complete, we place your custom crown. It’s crafted to match the color, shape, and translucency of the surrounding teeth—down to the last detail.

Caring for Your Implant Long-Term

An anterior implant is strong—but like any part of your mouth, it needs regular care to stay that way.

Everyday Hygiene

Brush and floss like you normally would. Pay special attention to your gumline, and don’t skip your daily routine.

Checkups and Cleanings

We’ll want to see you regularly to make sure everything looks good and functions properly. These visits are quick, but important.

Interested in a Metal-Free Implant Option?

For patients seeking a holistic or metal-free approach, we also offer zirconia (ceramic) dental implants in addition to the traditional titanium. Zirconia implants are biocompatible, tooth-colored, and ideal for those with metal sensitivities or who prefer a natural alternative—ask our team if they’re right for you to learn more!
