Single Tooth Implants in San Marino, CA
Permanent Tooth Replacement That Looks and Feels Natural
Replace a Missing Tooth — for Good
If you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, you don’t have to live with the gap — or settle for a removable solution. A single dental implant is the most durable, natural-looking way to replace a missing tooth and restore full function to your smile.
At the San Marino office of Dr. Fary Yassamy, we restore dental implants with expert precision, always focused on long-term comfort, esthetics, and bite alignment. Patients from San Marino, South Pasadena, and surrounding communities trust our practice for implant solutions that feel like their own teeth — only stronger.
What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single dental implant consists of:
- A titanium post placed in the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root
- A custom abutment that connects the implant to the crown
- A ceramic or porcelain crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth
The result is a strong, permanent solution that preserves your jawbone, restores full chewing ability, and blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
Why Choose a Dental Implant Over a Bridge?
While traditional dental bridges can replace missing teeth, a single implant offers several key advantages:
- No need to alter surrounding teeth
- Helps preserve jawbone and prevent shrinkage
- Feels and functions like a natural tooth
- Easier to clean and maintain
- Often lasts decades or more with proper care
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for single-tooth replacement.
Our Implant Restoration Process
Dr. Yassamy partners with trusted oral surgeons or periodontists who perform the implant placement, while she handles the diagnosis, planning, and final restoration for long-term success.
Step 1: Evaluation & Planning
We assess your oral health, bone structure, and bite to confirm you're a good candidate.
Step 2: Implant Placement
The implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone by a specialist. Healing and bone integration typically take 3–6 months.
Step 3: Custom Abutment & Crown
Once healed, Dr. Yassamy designs a lifelike crown that attaches securely to the implant and blends with your smile.
Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring
We monitor your implant during regular cleanings and exams to ensure lasting success.
We also offer financing options to help make this long-term investment more accessible.
