Implant Restorations

Lost or missing teeth can diminish the appearance of your smile as well as affect your ability to speak clearly and properly chew food. In fact, an incomplete smile can even have an effect on your overall well being. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers several cosmetically pleasing and functional methods of teeth replacement to rebuild your smile.

Today, many individuals are interested in receiving dental implants to replace their missing teeth in order to reestablish a complete and beautiful smile. A dental implant is a small, biocompatible post that is placed directly into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. It behaves in much the same way as the root of a natural tooth. As the most advanced method of tooth replacement modern dentistry offers, a dental implant comes the closest to replicating the look, feel and function of a natural smile. Dental implants may be used to support either a single dental crown or multiple ones, as your smile requires. Special dental implants can also be placed in certain cases to provide added stability to a removable denture.

Once your dental implant has been placed and has had the time to integrate with the surrounding dental bone, it is ready to provide strong support for your new replacement teeth. At this time our office will fabricate the most cosmetically pleasing and durable crowns or dental bridges to give you back a smile that you can enjoy for many years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implant restorations?

+
Dental implant restorations are a type of dental restoration that replaces missing teeth with artificial roots and crowns. The artificial root, or implant, is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the surrounding bone. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a crown is attached to it, restoring the function and appearance of the missing tooth.

Who is a candidate for dental implant restorations?

+
Most people with healthy gums and jawbone are good candidates for dental implant restorations. However, factors such as smoking, certain medical conditions, and insufficient bone density can affect your eligibility. Your dentist will assess your oral health to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.

What are the benefits of dental implant restorations?

+
Dental implant restorations offer several advantages over other types of dental restorations, including durability, natural appearance, improved function, and the preservation of bone. Implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, can restore the look and feel of natural teeth, improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile, and help prevent bone loss in the jaw.
