Single Tooth Implant Bundoora
If you’re missing a tooth, a single dental implant provides a durable, lifelike replacement that brings back your smile’s appearance and functionality.
Replace a Missing Tooth with a Single Implant in Bundoora
Losing a tooth can impact more than your appearance, it may lead to movement of nearby teeth, changes in your bite, and bone loss over time. A single dental implant replaces both the root and visible part of the tooth, helping preserve jawbone integrity and restore normal chewing function.
Dr Chandni Passi and our caring team use detailed diagnostics and digital planning to ensure your implant is placed with accuracy and care. Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or extraction, we’ll support you through every step of the treatment process.
We welcome patients from Bundoora, Reservoir, Thomastown, Mill Park, Greensborough, Watsonia, Macleod, Eltham, Lalor, Rosanna, and surrounding suburbs.

Complimentary Dental Implant Consultation
A single dental implant replaces both the root and crown of a missing tooth, helping restore full function and a natural appearance. It’s a fixed, reliable solution designed to blend seamlessly with your smile.
What to Expect During Your Implant Appointment
-
Consultation and Planning:
We begin with a comprehensive examination, digital scans or CBCT imaging, and a discussion of your goals. This helps us assess bone volume and determine if a graft is needed before implant placement. -
Implant Placement:
A small titanium post is carefully inserted into the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. This procedure is typically done under local anaesthetic. The area is then given several months usually between 3 and 6 to allow the implant to integrate naturally with the bone. -
Restoration:
Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant via an abutment. This crown is designed to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.

Single Dental Implant
A single dental implant is a trusted way to replace an individual missing tooth, offering:
- Fixed and long-lasting alternative to removable partial dentures
- Natural appearance and function
- Support for adjacent teeth, preventing shifting
- Preservation of jawbone density
No need to adjust nearby teeth like with a dental bridge.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Once your single tooth implant is placed and restored, it functions like a natural tooth. To ensure its longevity:
- Brush twice daily and floss around the implant
- Attend regular dental check-ups
- Protect your teeth by not biting into hard items or tearing open packages.
- If you clench or grind your teeth, wearing a custom night guard can help prevent damage.
With proper care, implants can last many years, often decades.
A single tooth implant may be ideal if:
- You are missing one tooth in any area of the mouth
- You have good general and oral health
- You have sufficient bone, or are willing to undergo a bone graft
- You are looking for a long-term, fixed replacement option
During your consultation, we will assess your medical history, oral health, and bone condition to determine suitability.
The full process usually takes 3 to 6 months, including healing time. In some instances, placing a temporary crown earlier helps shield the tooth until the final restoration is ready.
