Understand the treatment
A single implant and crown can replace one missing tooth without using the neighbouring teeth as bridge supports.
Read the complete guide, risks and alternativesHow the parts fit together
The implant sits in the jawbone. An abutment connects it to the visible crown. The dentist considers the bite, available space, gum line and nearby roots when planning the restoration.
Questions for the assessment
Ask whether the tooth can be saved, whether a bridge or partial denture is reasonable, and whether a temporary tooth is possible during healing. For a front tooth, discuss the appearance of the gum line as well as the crown.
Time, risks and the complete price
Treatment may involve more than one procedure. Grafting and the timing of extraction affect the plan. Ask for separate fees for the implant, abutment and crown, and written instructions about swelling, cleaning and when to contact the practice.
Verify a professional
Use your province or territory’s professional resources to check registration and explore directories. A dentist’s registration does not establish availability or CDCP participation.

Costs, insurance and the CDCP
Fees vary by practice and treatment. Ask for a written estimate and confirm your out-of-pocket cost. The CDCP is federal; provincial or territorial programs may also apply depending on your circumstances.
