Dental implant restorations are a great way to replace missing teeth with natural-looking and functional artificial teeth. The restorations are placed on a titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone, and the restorations can come in a variety of options:
- Dental crowns are commonly used to replace a single missing tooth. They are custom-made to match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth and are placed on the implant post for a seamless fit.
- Dental bridges are used to replace one or multiple missing teeth in a row. They are attached to multiple implants to provide stability and support.
- Dentures can be an excellent option for patients who are missing all of their teeth. Implant-supported dentures are designed to attach to four or more implants in the jaw, providing a stable and secure fit that eliminates the need for messy adhesives.
One of the main advantages of dental implant restorations is their durability. With proper care, they can last a lifetime, unlike traditional dentures or bridges, which may need to be replaced every few years. Additionally, implant restorations look and feel like natural teeth, providing a comfortable and natural-looking smile. Implant restorations also provide better chewing function, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods without discomfort or restrictions. They also help prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur with missing teeth and lead to facial sagging.
What are dental implant restorations?
Dental implant restorations involve placing a crown, bridge or denture on a dental implant to replace missing teeth, providing a stable and natural-looking solution.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Good candidates for dental implants are those with healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implant. Dr. Yau will evaluate your suitability during a consultation.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The process typically takes several months, including the initial implant placement, a healing period and the final attachment of the restoration. The exact timeline varies for each patient.
What are the benefits of dental implants over other tooth replacement options?
Dental implants provide a permanent solution that mimics natural teeth in appearance and function. They help preserve jawbone density and do not affect adjacent teeth, unlike bridges.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants involves regular brushing, flossing and routine dental check-ups. Good oral hygiene practices are essential to ensure the longevity of your implants.
Overall, dental implant restorations offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options, providing patients with durable, natural-looking, and functional teeth. To learn more about our dental implant restoration options, call a member of our team today.
