Lasting smiles was the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I’m an extremely nervous patient and Dr. Kianpour was so nice and gentle and made me feel so comfortable. Also sanela at the front was one of the nicest people. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease and walked me through the whole process. I will never go anywhere else

Dr G and the rest of the staff are the best. I don't know why I waited so long to have this done. The procedure was painless. After talking with several doctors, I felt the most comfortable with Lasting Smiles and the staff. I'm 4 months. Into the procedure. I have no regrets Whatsoever going with lasting smiles. Lasting Smiles is the best the hardest part weas learning to smile again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a single dental implant?
A single dental implant is a permanent solution to replace one missing tooth. It consists of a small titanium post placed in the jawbone, which acts as a tooth root, topped with a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Does getting a single dental implant hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. The implant placement is performed under local anesthesia, and many patients report only mild soreness afterward—similar to a routine tooth extraction. Sedation options may also be available for added comfort.
How long does a single dental implant last?
With proper care and good oral hygiene, a single dental implant can last 20+ years or even a lifetime. Implants are designed to fuse with the jawbone, making them one of the most durable tooth replacement options available.
How long does the single dental implant process take?
The implant placement itself usually takes about 30–60 minutes. After placement, the implant needs time to heal and integrate with the bone, which can take a few months. Once healed, a custom crown is placed to complete your smile.
Am I a good candidate for a single dental implant?
Most adults with good oral health and adequate jawbone are excellent candidates. Even if you’ve been missing a tooth for years or have bone loss, advanced solutions such as bone grafting may still make implants possible. A consultation and 3D imaging help determine eligibility.
