Single Tooth Dental Implants in Davie, FL
One missing tooth, replaced with a small post and a custom crown that stands on its own.How a single tooth implant works at our Davie dental office
One missing tooth is worth replacing, even a back one nobody sees. A single tooth implant puts a small post where the root used to be, and a custom crown goes on top of it. The finished tooth stands on its own, so the healthy teeth beside it are left alone. Dr. Escabí and Dr. Garcia plan and place implants here, at our Davie dental office.
What to expect at your implant appointment
There are usually three stages, and they are separate visits. The first is a complimentary consultation, where we look at the space and give you a plan. The second is placing the post, with the area fully numb. If the tooth is still there, removing it comes before that. The last visit is the crown, designed to match the shape and shade of the teeth around it and fitted once the post is solid. We’ll walk you through your care plan after your consultation.
Healing during and after your implant is placed
The part people ask about most is the middle. After the post goes in, your bone grows tight around it, and that is quiet but important work you do not feel happening. Most people describe the first few days as soreness rather than pain, managed with what we go over before you leave. We do not print a healing time here, because it moves with your health, the site and how much bone you started with. You get a straight answer for your own case in the chair.
Choosing between an implant or a bridge for one missing tooth
A bridge is a fair option and we will say so when it is the better one. It works by reshaping the two teeth on either side of the gap so they can carry a false tooth between them, and it is usually finished in less time. The trade is that two sound teeth are changed permanently. An implant asks nothing of them, but it takes longer and involves a minor surgical step. If the neighboring teeth already carry large fillings or crowns, a bridge often makes more sense.

What patients ask us
What happens at the complimentary implant consultation?
We look at the space, take a digital X-ray right at the chair, check your bite and the health of your gums, then talk through what would work and what would not. You leave knowing your options and holding a personalized estimate for your own case. The consultation itself is complimentary, so there is no cost to find out where you stand.
My tooth still has to come out first. What happens to the space in the meantime?
That is where PRF comes in. We draw a small sample of your own blood, concentrate the part that carries the growth factors your body already uses to heal, and place it in the socket after the extraction. Nothing synthetic and nothing from a donor goes in. Protecting the site early is what keeps the simpler implant option on the table later.
I get nervous. What can you do to keep me comfortable on placement day?
Tell us that before anything else, and we plan around it. The area is fully numb before we start, so what you notice is pressure and movement rather than pain. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation are both available if they help you settle. We do not offer IV sedation. Raise a hand at any point and we stop. Nobody here is going to rush you.
What if I would rather leave the gap alone?
Then we tell you what to expect and you decide. Some gaps cause trouble faster than others, and it is your mouth. What we will not do is pretend the choice is neutral, because the teeth around a space do move and the bone under it does change. If you want to wait, we would rather you wait knowing that than find out about it later.
Can I have an implant if the rest of my teeth are fine?
Yes. A single implant is built for exactly that, one gap in an otherwise healthy mouth. We check the bone in that one spot and the teeth around it. Nothing else about your mouth has to change.
How much does a single tooth dental implant cost in Davie, FL?
A single tooth implant is priced in stages, because the post, the abutment and the crown are separate pieces of work and any preparation the site needs comes first. That is why the implant consultation at our Davie dental office is complimentary and ends with an itemized estimate rather than a number over the phone. CareCredit and Cherry are available if you would rather spread it.
Frequently asked questions
What if my missing tooth is at the back where no one sees it?
Back teeth do most of your chewing, so a gap there wears on the rest of your bite even when it never shows. The bone in that area shrinks too. Replacing it protects the teeth that are still doing the work.
Will the crown match my other teeth?
That is the goal. We match the shade, the shape and the way light hits the surface to the teeth beside it. If the tooth sits at the front of your smile, we take extra time and check it with you before it goes on for good.
What happens if the crown chips or loosens years from now?
You call us and we look at it. The crown and the post are separate parts, which means the crown can usually be addressed without disturbing what is in the bone. That is one of the quiet advantages of an implant.
Do you speak Spanish during implant appointments?
Yes. We provide care in English and Spanish, so you can ask questions and hear your options in the language you are most comfortable in. Bring a family member along if that helps, they are welcome in the room.
Can I eat normally once the crown is on?
That is the point of it. The crown is carried by the post in your bone, so it handles chewing rather than sitting on your gums. We check your bite when it goes in and adjust it until it meets the way it should.
