Dental implant restoration replaces missing or damaged teeth by attaching a custom-made artificial tooth to a dental implant, restoring the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth.
This video shows you the differences between a bridge and a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, while reviewing the benefits and potential drawbacks of each.
Despite advances in dental care, many people still experience tooth loss due to infection, decay, gum disease, or injury. While traditional options like bridges and dentures have long been used to replace missing teeth, implant restorations offer a modern, stable solution. By attaching a custom crown, bridge, or denture to a dental implant, we can restore the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth while supporting long-term oral health.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth, including the tooth root. An implant is anchored in the jawbone below the gum line, providing a strong foundation for the replacement tooth. Implants have the look and feel of natural teeth, allowing patients to regain confidence in their smile.
Artificial teeth for dental implants can be permanent or removable, and implants can support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Your dentist can discuss which type of implant is right for you.
A dental implant restoration is the visible portion of a dental implant that replaces a missing tooth. It typically includes a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture that is securely attached to an implant post, restoring the appearance and function of your natural teeth. Unlike the surgical placement of the implant itself, restoration focuses on designing and fitting the final tooth replacement for a comfortable, natural-looking result.
All-on-4 dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution that restores an entire upper or lower set of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. These implants act as a stable foundation for a custom-made prosthetic, providing a secure, natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures.
At Celebrating Smiles, we specialize in restoring full smiles with this advanced treatment. Our team carefully plans and places the implants to ensure optimal support, then designs a custom restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. In many cases, patients can receive a temporary set of teeth the same day, followed by a final, long-lasting restoration after the healing process is complete.
Success rates of dental implants vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed and the risk factors of the individual, but in general, implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper oral hygiene and management of risk factors, implants can last a lifetime.
The advantages of dental implants include:
