One tooth, done so well
it disappears.
For Lafayette patients missing a single tooth, especially a front one, the bar isn't just function, it's invisibility. A dental implant matched in shade, shape, and gum line so no one can tell which tooth was replaced.
Before
After
A natural-looking restoration that respects the shade, translucency, and gum contour of the surrounding teeth, the difference between a replaced tooth and one you'd never notice.
Where can Lafayette residents get a single-tooth dental implant?
Lafayette residents can get single-tooth and front-tooth dental implants at Mona Lisa Smile Dental in neighboring Walnut Creek, about a 10-minute drive away. Dr. Khandaqji is an AACD Accredited cosmetic dentist who combines implant placement with Digital Smile Design so a single implant crown matches the surrounding teeth in shade, shape, and gum contour.
Cosmetic accreditation isn't a membership.
Dr. Khandaqji is one of a small number of AACD Accredited cosmetic dentists in the Bay Area, a credential earned through demonstrated clinical excellence. For a visible tooth, that difference is everything: shade layering, gum shaping, and Digital Smile Design planning so the result reads as entirely your own.
Single & front-tooth implants
Will a front-tooth implant look natural?
That's the whole point. With Digital Smile Design and AACD-level cosmetic technique, the crown is matched to the shade, translucency, and shape of your neighboring teeth, and the gum contour is shaped so there's no dark line or gap.
How far is the office from Lafayette?
About 10 minutes. We're in central Walnut Creek with free on-site parking, easy from anywhere in Lafayette via Mt. Diablo Blvd or Highway 24.
Will I be without a tooth during healing?
No. For visible teeth we provide a temporary so you never leave with a gap while the implant fuses with bone over about 12 weeks.
Is an implant better than a bridge for one missing tooth?
Usually, yes. An implant replaces the single tooth without grinding down the two healthy neighbors a bridge requires, and it preserves the jawbone beneath the gap.
What if I lost the tooth years ago?
Often still very treatable. CBCT 3D imaging shows exactly how much bone remains, and modern grafting rebuilds volume where needed so a natural-looking result is still achievable.
A tooth no one
will notice.
Lafayette patients start with a Stability Evaluation, 3D imaging, shade planning, and a clear, fixed plan for a single implant that blends in completely.
