Designed beneath the smile
A new tooth.
From the foundation up.
A single dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a custom-made crown. Unlike a conventional bridge, an implant can stand independently of the neighboring teeth.
At Icónica, the restoration and the surgical plan are considered together. The goal is a tooth that fits your smile, your bite, and the way you live.
The abutment
A connecting component joins the implant to the crown and supports the restoration above the gumline.
The dental implant
A titanium implant is placed in the jawbone. Healing allows the bone and implant to integrate before the final restoration is completed.

AN INDEPENDENT FOUNDATIONReplace the root.
Replace the root.
Restore the tooth.
An implant supports a single crown without using adjacent teeth as bridge supports. Placement and restoration are planned around the available bone, gums, and bite.
- What supports it?
- A titanium implant placed in the jawbone.
- What to consider
- Surgery, healing time, bone availability, and ongoing maintenance.
- What stays in place?
- The finished crown is fixed; you do not remove it for daily cleaning.
SUPPORTED BY NEIGHBORING TEETH
Bridge the space.
A conventional bridge uses the teeth next to the missing tooth to support a connected restoration. It may be suitable when those teeth already need crowns or when implant surgery is not the preferred option.
- What supports it?
- The neighboring teeth, which are prepared to receive the bridge.
- What to consider
- The condition of adjacent teeth and cleaning beneath the replacement tooth.
- What stays in place?
- A conventional bridge is fixed in place.
A REMOVABLE REPLACEMENTA different approach
A different approach
to filling the space.
A partial denture can replace missing teeth using a removable appliance. It can be considered when several teeth are absent, as an interim option, or when a fixed restoration is not suitable.
- What supports it?
- The remaining teeth and surrounding tissues, depending on its design.
- What to consider
- Comfort, stability, visible components, and daily removal for cleaning.
- What stays in place?
- You take the appliance out for cleaning as instructed.
This comparison is an introduction. Your dentist will discuss suitability, alternatives, and the complete treatment plan.
The Icónica approach
Planned with precision.
Delivered with care.
Your journey begins with Dr. Christopher Garcia and an assessment of the tooth you want to replace. Each step is coordinated with the restoration we intend to create.
Understand & plan
A comprehensive examination and 3D CBCT imaging help assess the site, available bone, and nearby structures. We review options, costs, and the expected sequence with you.
Place the foundation
The implant is placed using a plan tailored to your anatomy. Local anesthesia and your individual comfort needs are discussed before the appointment.
Allow time to heal
Bone integration is monitored before the implant is ready for its final restoration. Temporary tooth replacement and additional preparation are considered when appropriate.
Complete & maintain
Your custom crown is fitted and the bite checked. Daily hygiene and professional maintenance help protect the restoration and the tissues around it.
Healing and treatment timing vary. Your recommended sequence may include extraction or bone grafting.
Our choice of implant technology
AnyRidge®.
The foundation we use.
Icónica exclusively uses the MegaGen AnyRidge® implant system. Its design brings together thread geometry, surface treatment, and a tapered internal connection.
The implant system is one part of your care. Diagnosis, surgical planning, restoration design, and ongoing maintenance shape the complete treatment.
01 · SURFACE TECHNOLOGYXPEED®.
XPEED®.
Designed for integration.
A calcium-ion-treated implant surface designed to support the process of bone integrating with the implant.

Advanced imaging at Icónica
Vatech CBCT.
CleverOne clarity.
Icónica uses Vatech cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with CleverOne software to support diagnosis and the planning of surgical and dental implant procedures. When clinically indicated, three-dimensional imaging helps us assess tooth roots, available bone, and nearby structures such as nerves and sinuses.
CleverOne supports image review and visual treatment planning, helping us explain your anatomy and proposed care more clearly. For implant treatment, this information supports assessment of the site and planning of implant position.
Imaging is selected for your individual needs. CBCT is used when the additional three-dimensional information is clinically appropriate; it is not required for every examination or procedure.

Clear answers about planning, healing, payment, and caring for your new tooth.
Evaluation & planning
Am I a candidate for a single tooth implant?
Your evaluation considers your gums, available bone, bite, medical history, and the tooth being replaced. Dr. Garcia will explain whether an implant is appropriate and discuss other ways to restore the space.
What if I do not have enough bone?
Bone grafting or other preparation may be recommended before or alongside implant placement. The amount and condition of the bone help determine your treatment sequence.
Am I too old for a dental implant?
Age alone does not determine suitability. Your health, medications, oral condition, and ability to maintain the restoration are part of the assessment.
Can an implant be placed when a tooth is extracted?
Sometimes. Infection, bone condition, and implant stability influence whether immediate placement is appropriate or whether a period of healing is needed.
Is an implant always better than a bridge?
No single option fits every situation. An implant can replace one tooth independently; a bridge may be appropriate when adjacent teeth already need crowns or when surgery is unsuitable. We review the advantages and tradeoffs with you.
The procedure & healing
Does the procedure hurt?
Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area. You may feel pressure during placement and experience soreness or swelling afterward. Your comfort needs and postoperative instructions are discussed before treatment.
How long does the entire process take?
Treatment is usually completed in stages, with healing measured in months rather than days. Extractions, grafting, and your individual healing can change the schedule. We explain the expected sequence at your consultation.
Will I have a visible gap while the implant heals?
Temporary replacement options may be available, especially for a visible tooth. The choice depends on the site, your bite, and the need to protect the healing implant.
What is recovery like?
Soreness and swelling can occur after surgery. Follow the instructions you receive for food, hygiene, activity, and medication. Contact our team if symptoms worsen or you have concerns.
What are the implant, abutment, and crown?
The implant is the titanium foundation placed in the jawbone. The abutment connects it to the custom crown, which is the visible replacement tooth.
Cost & long-term care
How much does a single dental implant cost?
Your estimate is based on the complete plan: evaluation, implant placement, abutment, and crown, plus any extraction, grafting, or temporary replacement required. We discuss the recommended care and costs before treatment begins.
Are financing options available?
Icónica offers access to Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit. Approval, rates, promotional offers, and repayment terms vary by provider and applicant. Explore the financing section on our homepage or speak with our team.
Will dental insurance cover treatment?
Coverage varies by plan and procedure. Our team can help review your benefits and explain the estimated patient portion. An estimate of benefits is not a guarantee of insurer payment.
How long can an implant last?
Implant restorations are intended for long-term use, but longevity varies. Oral hygiene, gum health, bite forces, smoking, medical factors, and professional follow-up affect their performance. The crown or other components may need repair or replacement.
How do I care for my new tooth?
Brush and clean around the implant restoration every day using the methods your dental team recommends. Attend maintenance visits so we can assess the crown, surrounding gums, and supporting bone.
