Single Tooth Implant
One implant and a custom crown replace one missing tooth without touching the teeth beside it.
Replace one tooth, several teeth or a full arch with implants that work like natural teeth. Every case at Ethos is planned on a 3D cone beam scan, placed with a 3D-printed surgical guide and restored in the same office.
*With approved credit · Oral sedation available
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Over a few months the bone fuses to it, and it becomes a permanent root for a crown, a bridge or a denture. Unlike a bridge, it doesn't need support from the teeth next to it, and unlike a regular denture, it doesn't slip.
At Ethos Advanced Dental Care in Temecula, Dr. Jeremy Sewell and our team plan, place and restore implants in one office, so you aren't sent between specialists.
The right option depends on how many teeth you're missing and the health of your bone and gums. We'll show you what fits after your 3D scan.
One implant and a custom crown replace one missing tooth without touching the teeth beside it.
Two implants can anchor a bridge that replaces three or more missing teeth in a row.
A denture that snaps onto implants so it stays put when you eat and talk. No more adhesive.
A fixed set of teeth on four or more implants, usually with temporary teeth the same day. Learn about All-on-4.
Lost bone after an extraction? Your cone beam scan shows exactly how much bone you have. If grafting or a different approach is needed, we'll explain it, and what it adds to your timeline and cost, before you commit.
Most patients go from placement to final tooth in about three to six months. Here's what each step looks like.
We examine your mouth and take a Genoray 3D cone beam scan, which takes about eight seconds, to measure your bone and map nerves and sinuses.
We plan the exact position of each implant on the computer, then print a custom surgical guide in-office on our Moonray 3D printer.
The implant is placed under local anesthesia, with oral conscious sedation if you'd like. Most patients are back to normal routines within a day or two.
Over roughly three to six months the bone fuses to the implant. You'll wear a temporary tooth or denture so you're never without a smile.
Once the implant is solid, we scan it with our iTero digital scanner. No goopy impression trays.
Your custom crown, bridge or denture is attached and adjusted for your bite and color match.

Book a Free ConsultationIt depends on how many teeth you're replacing, whether you need an extraction or bone grafting first, and what goes on top of the implant (a single crown, a bridge or a full-arch denture). After your free consultation and 3D scan, we give you an itemized quote before any treatment starts, along with your financing and insurance options.
Many PPO plans pay toward part of the treatment, most often the crown, up to your plan's annual maximum. Coverage, waiting periods and limits vary by plan, so we check your benefits and show you your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you commit.
The implant is placed with local anesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Oral conscious sedation is available if you're anxious. Expect some soreness and swelling for a few days afterward, which most people manage with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Placing the implant is a single visit. The implant then needs time to fuse with your jawbone, usually about three to six months, before the final crown, bridge or denture is attached. Full-arch All-on-4 patients usually leave the day of surgery with temporary fixed teeth.
With good home care and regular checkups, the implant itself can last for decades. In long-term studies, more than 95% of implants are still in place after ten years. The crown on top is subject to normal wear and may need replacing after many years of use.
Most adults who are missing teeth can get implants. You need healthy gums and enough jawbone to hold the implant, which we measure on a 3D cone beam scan. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes raise the risk of complications, so we review your health history at the consultation.
Bone often shrinks after a tooth is lost. Your 3D scan shows exactly how much bone you have. Depending on the result, options can include bone grafting or a full-arch approach like All-on-4, which angles the implants to use the bone you already have.
An implant replaces the tooth root, so the teeth on either side don't have to be filed down and the jawbone underneath stays stimulated. A bridge is faster and usually costs less up front, but it relies on the neighboring teeth and typically needs replacing sooner. We'll walk you through both.
Yes. Implant-supported dentures snap onto a few implants so they stop slipping, and All-on-4 full-arch implants give you a fixed set of teeth that doesn't come out. Both are options for patients with no teeth or failing teeth.
Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth with floss or a water flosser, and keep your regular cleanings. Implants can't get cavities, but the gums around them can become infected if plaque builds up, so daily cleaning matters.
Yes. Dr. Sewell has advanced training in oral conscious sedation, which helps anxious patients stay relaxed and comfortable through implant surgery. Ask about it at your consultation.
