Single-Tooth Dental Implants in North Carolina
A single missing tooth is the most common reason patients come to us for implant care — and the most straightforward to fix well. Across six O2 Dental Group offices in North Carolina, we rebuild one tooth with one implant: a titanium root, a connector, and a matched zirconia crown that restores how your smile looks and works. Choose the location nearest you for local details, or read the essentials below.
Single Implant
Learn how a single dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a durable, natural-looking solution. This video explains how the implant is placed, how it integrates with the jawbone, and how the final crown restores your smile, chewing ability, and long-term oral health without affecting neighboring teeth.

One tooth, one implant — and why it's the right fix
When a lone tooth is missing, an implant restores it without drawing any other tooth into the repair. The root portion anchors in the jaw; a connector links it to a shaped crown that sits above the gumline. That arrangement does two things a bridge cannot: it holds the surrounding bone in place by keeping it under load, and it spares the adjacent teeth from being reduced to serve as anchors.
It’s also the foundation of our wider implant care. A single-tooth implant sits at one end of a ladder that runs through implant-supported bridges and dentures up to full-arch solutions. For one gap, the single implant is almost always the cleanest answer.
Same-day placement across all six offices
Every O2 location can set an implant on the same day the tooth is removed, for patients who qualify. When the surrounding bone is sound and the gum tissue is healthy, one appointment covers the extraction, the implant, and a temporary tooth to hold the space until your permanent crown is ready — you never walk out with an open gap. Eligibility is read from your 3D scan; we don’t commit to it before we’ve seen your bone.
What it costs across North Carolina
Across all six O2 Dental Group offices, a complete single-tooth implant generally runs $3,000 to $6,000 — that covers the implant, its abutment, and the crown as one finished tooth, rather than billing the surgery and the crown separately.
The exact figure depends on whether an extraction or bone graft is part of your plan, confirmed from your 3D scan. Each office verifies your insurance benefits first, offers monthly payment plans, and provides the O2 Advantage Plan for uninsured patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a single-tooth implant cost in North Carolina?
At O2 Dental Group, a complete single-tooth implant — post, abutment, and crown — typically runs $3,000 to $6,000. The final figure depends on whether an extraction or bone graft is needed, which we confirm from your 3D scan at the consultation.
Do all your offices offer same-day implants?
All six O2 locations offer same-day placement for qualified candidates — Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville, Wilmington, Siler City, and Southern Pines. Whether you qualify depends on bone health and the specifics of your case, determined at the scan.
Is an implant better than a bridge for one missing tooth?
For a single gap, usually yes. An implant preserves the jawbone and leaves the neighboring teeth intact, while a bridge requires filing those neighbors down and doesn’t protect the bone. The implant is also designed to last longer.
Which location should I choose?
