What Are Tooth Restorations?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gums. They provide a stable foundation for dental restorations that match your natural teeth. These tooth restorations are designed to become a permanent part of your mouth, integrating you're your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Dental implants are composed of three parts: the post, which is inserted into your jawbone to act as your new tooth roots; the abutment, which connects the post and the restoration; and the restoration, which is your visible new crown, bridge, or denture acting as your new tooth or teeth.

Pretreatments We Offer

Before undergoing dental implant treatment, our dentist will perform a consultation to determine if your gums and jaw are healthy enough to support an implant successfully. If it is determined they are not healthy enough, you will need pretreatments in preparation for your implant. Our dentist has the skill to provide pretreatments in-house to offer you a more seamless implant process. The pretreatments we provide are:

  • Bone Grafts: In cases where your jawbone is not dense or thick enough to support an implant, a bone graft may be necessary. This procedure involves using bone material and placing it in your jawbone to encourage new bone growth, increasing the volume and density to provide a stable foundation for your implant.
  • Extractions: While saving your natural teeth is always our top priority, in cases where your tooth has become too damaged or has too much decay, it will need to be removed. This creates space for your implant and maintains the surrounding area's health, allowing it to remain free from infection or structural issues that could impact its success.

Our Dental Implant Options

We understand that not everyone's needs are the same, and we proudly offer a variety of dental implants to find the right choice for you. Our skilled dentist will carefully design a tailored treatment plan to enhance your smile and maximize your oral function. Our comprehensive range of tooth restorations include:

  • Crowns: Dental implants can support individual crowns, which are used to replace a single missing tooth. Our crowns are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
  • Bridges: Implant-supported bridges replace two or more missing teeth. Our bridges are anchored to dental implants, enhancing stability for restoring larger gaps and distributing chewing forces evenly across the implants.
  • Dentures: Implant-supported dentures are designed to replace a full arch of missing teeth. They are secured by attaching them to 4-8 dental implants.

Our Process

We begin your treatment with a comprehensive consultation conducted by our dentist, who evaluates your goals and the health of your gums and jaw. If pretreatments like extractions or bone grafts are required, we perform them in-house, allowing for proper healing time. Following the initial healing phase, you return to our office for the surgical placement of the implant post into your jawbone. After allowing adequate time for healing, you return once more for the placement of your customized crown, bridge, or denture restoration, completing the process and restoring your smile effectively.
