An empty space where a tooth used to be doesn’t just change how your smile looks. Neighboring teeth can shift out of place, your bite can change, and the jawbone underneath begins to wear down without a tooth root there to support it. That’s why at Kirkland Dental Excellence, we offer a single tooth dental implant in Kirkland to replace both the missing tooth and its root, so your bite, jawbone, and smile stay supported for years to come.
Since 2010, Dr. Oveys Hedayati, D.D.S. has helped Kirkland patients replace missing teeth for good. He completed his D.D.S. at Tehran Azad University Dental School (IAU) and went on to study Restorative Dentistry at UCLA School of Dentistry from 2015 to 2017.
He also completed additional training in Implant Dentistry at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, along with an active Washington dental license (DE60734395, NPI 1154849735).
He plans every single tooth implant around your jawbone, bite, and surrounding teeth, so your new tooth functions and looks like the rest of your smile.
His areas of focus include:
We examine the site and take 3D imaging to check your jawbone and plan the implant's exact position.
Dr. Hedayati places the titanium post under local anesthesia, which acts as the new tooth's root.
Over the next three to six months, the bone fuses to the implant, creating a stable base.
Once healed, we attach the abutment and a custom crown matched to your smile.
At Kirkland Dental Excellence, single tooth implants start at $3,995, including your consultation, 3D scan, computer-guided design, surgical guide, abutment, and crown. Bone grafting or a sinus lift, if needed, is quoted separately.
Most dental insurance plans offer limited or no coverage for the implant itself, though some plans help with related steps like imaging or the crown. Call us at (425) 827-2003 to check your coverage and discuss financing.
Most insurance plans cover a meaningful portion of composite resin fillings, since they’re considered a standard restorative treatment rather than cosmetic. Coverage often falls between 50% and 80%, though this depends on your specific plan and whether you’ve already used part of your annual benefit.
