Options for Dental Implant Restoration

Dental implants are the best replacement option for missing teeth in terms of their ability to improve the health, function, and appearance of your smile. They keep the jawbone from deteriorating, the remaining teeth from shifting out of place, restorations securely in place, and provide a natural-looking appearance. Furthermore, dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, or all of your teeth.

A Dental Crown can be used to replace a single missing tooth

We can pair a dental implant with a dental crown to maintain your oral health if you are missing a single tooth due to genetics, an accident, or an oral health problem. Doctor will place the dental implant into the socket left by your missing tooth in this case. If you are undergoing treatment many years after losing the tooth, he will need to make room for the implant.

You will need three to six months to heal after the implant is placed. During this time, known as Osseo integration, the surrounding bone and gum tissue will form around the implant, securely holding it in place. During this time, a temporary restoration may be placed. After the healing period is over, doctor will place a custom-made crown that matches the size, shape, and colour of your surrounding teeth, filling in the gap in your smile and producing a natural-looking appearance.

Replace a Bridge or Partial Denture for Several Missing Teeth

A dental bridge is the best restoration option if you are missing two or more teeth in a row. A bridge is made up of two or more prosthetic teeth that are fused together to fill a gap left by missing teeth. A bridge, unlike a dental crown, does not require a 1:1 dental implant ratio.
