Implant Restorations

If you lost one or more teeth or have dentures and you’re ready for a permanent solution, consider an implant restoration.  While we do not do implant abutments (the screw placed into the bone) here in our office, we work closely with several different oral surgeons who would place the implant abutment and then we would finish the crown on to the abutment.

Dental Implant Restorations facts:

• Durable – the implant fuses to the bone making implants the most durable tooth replacement option
• Long-Lasting - Implants can last a lifetime if properly maintained
• Healthy Oral Solution – Implants don’t require reduction of bordering teeth
• Natural Looking – Implants are designed to look like natural teeth
• Improve Appearance and Restore Confidence

The Dental Implant Restoration Process:

• The dental implant takes the place of the old root in the jaw bone
• Over the next 2-6 months the implant fuses to the bone becoming an anchor for the artificial tooth.
• The next step is to design the new replacement tooth. Once ready, the new tooth is attached to the implant – the patient will be able to chew and speak normally
• When a patient loses several teeth, an implant supported bridge can be created to replace the missing teeth.
