Implant Restorations

Implant restoration is your best option if you want a permanent solution to missing teeth. Everyone wants to have a beautiful, confident smile and if you’re ready to take that step to improving your smile and your self-esteem, consider getting a dental implant.

Advantages

A dental implant is the preferred choice of many due to the advantages it offers over dentures. These include:

1. It’s highly durable. The implant fuses to the bone itself.

2. It’s long-lasting. When maintained properly, it can last a lifetime.

3. It’s the healthy solution. A dental implant doesn’t require preparing adjacent teeth so there’s no need to reduce any healthy tooth structure.

4. It looks natural. In fact, no one will ever know you have dental prosthesis.

Procedure

Dental implant restoration is comprised of several phases. First, the oral surgeon will make an incision in the gum line to place the implant. The implant will need time to heal and fuse to the jawbone, and this will take about 2-6 months. Once it has fused it will then become the anchor for the artificial tooth. Once ready, a dental crown is placed over the implant and cemented in place.
