Dental Implant Restorations
What is a Dental Implant Restoration?
A dental implant restoration is the visible portion of your dental implant. It is the crown, bridge, or denture that attaches securely to the titanium post anchored in your jaw. Once your implant has healed and integrated with the bone, our team creates and places a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
Each restoration is carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth for a seamless and natural result.
Types of Dental Implant Restorations
- Implant Crowns – Used to replace a single missing tooth.
- Implant Bridges – Ideal for restoring multiple missing teeth in a row.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – Provide enhanced stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.
Our Role in the Dental Implant Process
While our practice does not perform implant placement surgery, we work closely with trusted oral surgeons and periodontists who do. After your implant post has healed, our team completes the next phase of your treatment by designing, customizing, and placing your final restoration for the best possible comfort and appearance.
Dental Implant Maintenance and Repair
Once your dental implant restoration is complete, our team continues to support you with ongoing care and maintenance. Although dental implants are designed to be long-lasting, the restoration or surrounding tissue may sometimes require professional attention.
Our office provides maintenance and repair services to help you protect your investment and preserve your oral health. This includes:
- Evaluating the fit and function of your implant crown, bridge, or denture to ensure stability and comfort.
- Checking implant components for signs of wear, loosening, or damage during routine exams.
- Tightening or reattaching restorations if they become loose over time.
- Repairing or replacing broken or chipped implant crowns to maintain proper function and appearance.
- Monitoring gum and bone health around the implant to detect early signs of inflammation or infection.
Our goal is to keep your implant restoration looking beautiful and functioning properly for as long as possible. If you ever notice any discomfort, looseness, or changes in your bite, our team can evaluate and address the issue promptly.
