One missing tooth matters more than you might think.
A single missing tooth can set off a chain of problems. Neighbouring teeth drift into the gap, the opposing tooth over-erupts, and the jawbone beneath the gap begins to resorb without a root to stimulate it. Over time, these changes affect your bite, your appearance, and the health of surrounding teeth.
A dental implant is the only replacement option that addresses the root as well as the crown. The titanium post integrates with the jawbone, preserving bone volume and providing a stable, permanent anchor for the custom porcelain crown placed on top.
The advantages of a single tooth implant
Healthy teeth untouched
A traditional bridge requires permanently grinding down the two teeth on either side of the gap. An implant stands alone — your healthy neighbours are left completely intact.
Bone preservation
The implant post stimulates the jawbone just like a natural root, preventing the bone resorption that causes facial changes and makes future treatment more complex.
Permanent and fixed
The crown is cemented or screwed onto the implant. It does not come out, does not move, and requires no adhesives.
Natural appearance
The porcelain crown is custom-shaded and shaped to match your surrounding teeth. Most patients find it indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Easy to clean
Clean an implant crown exactly like a natural tooth — brush, floss, and attend regular hygiene appointments. No special tools required.
Long-term value
With proper care, a single tooth implant can last 20 years or more — significantly longer than a traditional bridge, which typically needs replacement after 10–15 years.
What to expect — step by step
Consultation + 3D scan
A complimentary consultation includes a 3D CBCT scan to assess bone volume at the implant site and confirm you are a suitable candidate.
Implant placement
The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. IV sedation is available. A healing cap is fitted and the site is left to heal.
Osseointegration
Over 3–6 months the implant fuses with the surrounding bone — a process called osseointegration. A temporary crown may be worn during this period.
Abutment placement
Once integrated, a small connector piece (abutment) is attached to the implant post. This is a minor procedure, often done under local anaesthetic.
Crown placement
Impressions are taken and the final porcelain crown is custom-fabricated, fitted, and adjusted for a precise bite and natural appearance.
What does a single tooth implant cost in Markham?
A single tooth implant (implant post + abutment + crown) typically ranges from $3,500 to $6,000 at Dentistry at Vitality Health. The range reflects differences in anatomy, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of crown material selected.
Your written, itemised quote is provided at your complimentary consultation after a 3D CBCT scan — so you know the full cost before any treatment begins. Financing is available through iFinance Dental with terms up to 84 months.
