Replace One Tooth With Confidence

A Stand-Alone Replacement for One Missing Tooth

Ready to replace that missing tooth for good? A single-tooth implant in Downtown Los Angeles at Perio Implant Health Professionals gives you a permanent, natural-looking solution backed by Dr. Rodriguez’s specialized implant expertise.

Understanding Single Tooth Implants

A single-tooth implant is a permanent tooth replacement that uses a small titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone to support a custom-made crown. Unlike bridges or partial dentures, it stands on its own without altering surrounding teeth, and it fuses with your bone over time to create a stable foundation that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural tooth.

Are Single-Tooth Implants Right for You?

Most adults in good general health with adequate jawbone density are excellent candidates for a single-tooth implant.

  • One Missing Tooth. A single gap can let nearby teeth drift over time, and an implant fills the space without touching those teeth.
  • A Failing Tooth. A tooth that cannot be saved can be removed and later replaced with an implant and crown.
  • Healthy Neighboring Teeth. If the teeth beside the gap are healthy, an implant lets you avoid reshaping them for a bridge.
  • Some Bone Loss. Thinning bone does not always rule you out, since bone grafting can often rebuild the foundation first.
Your Visit, Step by Step

What to Expect During Treatment

Here is what to expect, one step at a time.

Request a Consultation
Step One

Thorough Examination

Dr. Rodriguez examines your bone density and oral health using advanced 3D imaging to design your personalized implant plan.

Step Two

Implant Surgery

The titanium post is carefully positioned into your jawbone during a comfortable, minimally invasive procedure.

Step Three

Healing Process

Over the following months, your implant fuses securely with the surrounding bone to form a permanent foundation.

Step Four

Crown Placement

Once healing is complete, Dr. Rodriguez attaches your custom crown and you leave with a fully restored, natural-looking smile.

Benefits of Single Tooth Implants

Tooth Preservation

An implant replaces your tooth independently, so healthy adjacent teeth never need to be ground down or disturbed.

Bone Loss Prevention

The titanium post stimulates your jawbone the way a natural root does, stopping the deterioration that begins immediately after tooth loss.

Natural Look and Feel

Your custom crown is matched to your surrounding teeth so precisely that most patients forget it isn’t natural.

Unmatched Durability

With proper care, a single-tooth implant can last a lifetime, making it the most reliable long-term tooth replacement available.

In addition to the professionalism and attentiveness, Dr. Matoska provides the highest quality, state of the art diagnosis, periodontal surgery and after-care. They also do a tremendous job of explaining options and helping me to plan and budget for my care. Additionally, they help me keep up with my periodontal health through top notch periodontal hygienist cleanings and an extremely professional front office staff who works quite flexibly with my schedule, as I travel a lot for work. As a result my mouth is far healthier and feels better than when I first came in to Perio Implant Health Professionals seven years ago!”

    Bobby RiveraGoogle review, March 2016

  • “They walked me through everything. The staff is very polite and respectful. I was given a direct cell number is case I had issues after my surgery, which made me feel at ease. They are not close to where I live, but they are worth the drive. I have always had a fear of dentist. Every dentist I have met were rude, unavailable, impatient, and just made me feel I was an inconvenience for them. I have not experienced any of that here. Takes time to explain, shows examples, gives you a cell number in case of emergency, and overall doesn't make you feel you're the problem.”

    Cynthia RodriguezGoogle review, August 2026

  • “Excellent and professional doctor and staff. You will be fortunate to have this doctor and staff take care of your dental needs. You will not be disappointed. Staff are very considerate and kind.”

    Teresa DuffyGoogle review, November 2024

  • “I was quite nervous before the procedure. Daniel( I do not know his last name) and Joan Otomo were great at calming down and reassuring me. Thanks a million!”

    Cecilia GrossoGoogle review, May 2024

  • “I met Dr Joan Otomo-Corgel while bringing my client to see her. While there I showed her my front gums that had amalgam leaking from very old post & core with crowns & multiple bone graft procedures. My dentist sent my X-rays to her office and she examined my whole mouth to advise me & my dentist what she suggests as treatment options. Meeting Dr Otomo- Corgel gave me great peace of mind about next steps. Once that part of my mouth is tackled, I would definitely come back for an implant consultation in another part of my mouth! Her assistant Marcello was very welcoming & thorough with my intake & exam. What a blessing 😁”
