What Is Implant
Restoration?
Implant restoration is the final phase of the dental implant process. While the implant itself is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone, the restoration is the visible part that replaces your missing tooth. Think of the implant as the root and the restoration as the crown. Together, they create a fully functional tooth replacement.
Types of Implant Restorations
We offer several types of implant restorations depending on your needs. Single-tooth restorations use individual crowns attached to one implant. If you're missing multiple adjacent teeth, implant-supported bridges can span the gap without affecting neighboring healthy teeth. For those who are missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures provide stability and eliminate the slipping and discomfort of traditional dentures.
The Restoration Timeline
The restoration process typically begins a few months after implant surgery, giving the implant time to fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Once healing is complete, we attach an abutment to the implant, which works as the connector between the implant and your restoration. Finally, we place your custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture.
