Single Tooth Implant · Wilmington, DE
Single Tooth Implants in Wilmington, DE. Replace One Tooth Without Touching the Others.
Lost a tooth to a crack, decay or an accident? A single dental implant replaces the root and the crown, so the new tooth stands on its own, without grinding down the healthy teeth next to it the way a bridge does. Every implant at Wilmington Dental & Implants starts with a complimentary 3D CBCT scan and a written estimate.
Why replace a single missing tooth?
A gap does more than change your smile. Neighboring teeth slowly drift and tip into the space, the opposing tooth can over-erupt, and the jawbone where the tooth was begins to shrink. Replacing the tooth sooner usually means a simpler, more predictable result.
Implant or bridge?
A bridge is faster but requires shaping the teeth on either side. An implant protects those teeth and the bone underneath. We explain both honestly. See our guide: implant vs. bridge.
Front tooth or back tooth
For front teeth we focus on gum contours and a crown shade that blends with your smile. For back teeth we focus on strength and your bite. Either way, the crown is designed for your mouth and adjusted until your bite feels natural.
What it costs
In the Wilmington area, a single implant with its crown typically ranges from about $3,500 to $6,000, depending on grafting needs and the crown. That’s a typical range; your exact fee is given in writing after your exam. Our 2026 implant cost guide explains what should be included in any quote. W Smile Club members save 30%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
How long does a single implant take?+
Most cases take a few months from placement to final crown, allowing the implant to bond to the bone. Some cases need grafting first.
Does getting an implant hurt?+
The procedure is done with local anesthesia. Most patients report mild soreness for a few days.
Can an implant be placed the same day as an extraction?+
Sometimes. If the bone and gum are healthy, an implant can be placed right after the tooth is removed. Your 3D scan tells us.
Will it look natural?+
Yes. The crown is shaded and shaped to match your neighboring teeth.
Will insurance help?+
Many plans contribute toward implants up to the annual maximum. We verify your benefits free.
