Your Final Stop to a Restored Smile
A dental implant restoration can be the perfect solution if you are considering ways to achieve a beautiful smile. Unlike other dental restorations, implant restorations are designed to provide a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. With help from Dr. Snow and Dr. Hudson at Snow Family Dental, you can embark on a journey to restore your smile and regain confidence in your appearance.
What is Dental Implant Restoration?
Dental implant restoration is a comprehensive approach to replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile. It involves placing a dental implant, a small titanium post, into the jawbone. This implant acts as a sturdy anchor for an artificial tooth.
This procedure offers a long-lasting solution that closely mimics the feel and function of a natural tooth. Whether you have a single missing tooth or multiple gaps, dental implant restorations provide exceptional stability and a natural-looking result.
Types of Implant Restorations
At Snow Family Dental, we understand that every patient’s needs are unique. That’s why we offer several kinds of dental restorations to cater to individual requirements. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, a few, or all of them, we’ve got you covered.
Single Implant Crown
If you have a single missing tooth, a single implant restoration might be your ideal solution. After a titanium post fuses with your jawbone, Dr. Snow or Dr. Hudson will place a custom-made dental crown on top. This crown is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth’ color, shape, and size, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Dental Bridge
For those with multiple missing teeth in a row, a dental bridge supported by implants offers an excellent dental restoration option. The bridge consists of artificial teeth fused to a framework, which is attached to the implants. This design ensures the bridge is firmly in place, allowing you to speak and eat confidently.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture replaces multiple missing teeth, whether adjacent or not. Instead of relying on natural teeth to retain and stabilize partial dentures, dental implants create a sturdy foundation for artificial teeth. Implants also eliminate the metal clasps on traditional partial dentures, which can damage teeth and gums. A removable appliance makes it easy to clean and maintain but connects with the titanium posts to improve chewing efficiency.
Full Dentures
Conventional dentures rest on your gums, while implant-supported dentures are secured with titanium posts. Implant dentures look and feel natural and can improve your quality of life. They can also be customized to meet your specific needs. There are several types of implant-supported dentures, but Dr. Snow and Dr. Hudson will discuss these options and help you choose the best solution for your smile.
The Dental Implant Restoration Process
Dental implant restoration is the final phase in your journey. This step begins with an impression of your teeth, which creates a replica of your mouth. The lab uses this to make your custom crown, bridge, or denture, ensuring a precise fit.
The impression may be made using traditional methods that require a gooey material to sit in your mouth or a digital scan that creates a 3D model. Either way, it gets sent to a dental lab where a trained technician makes your new teeth.
Once the final product returns to our office, you’ll have a second appointment to try it in. It may require a few adjustments, but a crown will be cemented after ensuring it fits perfectly. Dentures may also require adjustments. Your tissues will continue to change, so you may need to return more than once.
