What Is Dental Implant Restoration?

Dental implant restoration involves replacing missing teeth with dental implants and custom restorations. The implant itself is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which acts as a root for the artificial tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the function and aesthetics of your smile.

Benefits of Dental Implant Restoration

• Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like natural teeth.
• Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
• Improved Oral Health: Implants help preserve jawbone density and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth.
• Enhanced Functionality: Enjoy improved chewing and speaking abilities.

The Dental Implant Restoration Process

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. This may include X-rays or CT scans to assess bone density and structure.
2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The implant will need time to integrate with the bone, typically a few months.
3. Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated, an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as a connector for the final restoration.
4. Custom Restoration: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom crown, bridge, or denture that matches your natural teeth. The restoration is then attached to the abutment, completing the process.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

To ensure the longevity and functionality of your dental implants:

• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily to keep your implants and surrounding teeth clean. Use interdental brushes to clean hard-to-reach areas.
• Regular Dental Visits: Schedule regular check-ups and cleanings at Art of Smile Care to monitor the health of your implants and overall oral health.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage your implants or restorations.
