A single-tooth dental implant is the most effective way to replace a missing tooth. Unlike bridges or partials, implants stand alone—so they don’t impact nearby teeth or require removal. Dr. Blalock combines surgical expertise with digital planning to deliver seamless results that look and feel just like a natural tooth.
At Lakeside Dental, we don’t rush your care. Dr. Blalock takes time to assess your overall health, bone density, and goals before recommending treatment. With in-house 3D imaging and years of implant training, he delivers precise, comfortable results—and supports you every step of the way, from placement to final crown.
Your journey starts with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Blalock uses CBCT scans and digital imaging to assess your bone structure, bite, and overall oral health. If you're a good candidate, we’ll walk you through the steps and timelines to make sure you're fully informed and confident moving forward.
The titanium implant post is carefully placed where your natural tooth root use to be, using advanced guided surgery for minimal discomfort and maximum precision. This post acts as a replacement tooth root, supporting your bone and setting the foundation for your new tooth.
Over the next few months, your implant will naturally fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. We’ll monitor your progress during this phase and keep you comfortable with ongoing check-ins.
Once healing is complete, we’ll attach a custom-made ceramic crown that matches your natural teeth in shape, color, and translucency. You’ll leave with a strong, beautiful, and fully functional smile—no one will be able to tell which tooth was restored.
Enjoy discounts on preventive care and flexible treatment options—no insurance needed.
