Pee Dee Implant Center places single tooth dental implants in Florence, South Carolina for patients across the Pee Dee region. A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with three components: a titanium post threaded into the jawbone, an abutment that screws into it, and a crown fixed on top. The teeth either side are never touched.
How much does a single tooth implant cost in Florence, SC?
$3,000 to $5,000 including the crown. That splits into $1,800 to $2,500 for surgical placement, $400 to $700 for the abutment, and $1,200 to $2,000 for the crown. Those three stages carry CDT codes D6010, D6057 and D6058, and they should appear as separate lines on any quote. Bone grafting, where the CBCT scan shows you need it, adds $300 to $1,200.
Is an implant better than a bridge for one missing tooth?
For a single gap with healthy neighbours, yes. A three-unit bridge requires the two adjacent teeth to be ground down to pegs, removing 60 to 70 percent of their structure and committing a meaningful share of them to root canal treatment later. Bridges last seven to fifteen years before replacement. Implants sit at 90 to 95 percent survival at ten years and load the bone directly, so the ridge underneath does not resorb. Our alternatives to dental implants guide sets both routes out.
How long does a single tooth implant take?
Four to eight months from placement to final crown. Placement itself takes one to two hours under local anaesthetic. Osseointegration takes three to four months in the lower jaw and four to six in the upper. If the tooth still needs extracting and socket grafting first, add three to four months at the front.
Can the implant go in the same day the tooth comes out?
Immediate placement into the fresh socket works where there is no active infection and the socket walls are intact, which the CBCT confirms. It removes three to four months from the timeline. Where the socket is infected or blown out, the site is grafted and left to heal instead. See same-day dental implants for immediate-load cases.
What is the implant crown made of?
Zirconia or porcelain fused to metal. Zirconia is used in the aesthetic zone because it transmits light like enamel and leaves no metal margin shadowing the gumline. Porcelain fused to metal is stronger under heavy molar load. Both are shade-matched to the teeth beside them from a digital scan before fabrication.
Technician insight
The patients who regret waiting are the ones who lost a molar and assumed nobody would see it. Within two years the tooth above has over-erupted into the gap and the teeth either side have tipped, so a $3,500 implant becomes an implant plus orthodontic uprighting. The gap does not stay a gap.
