Implant Restoration

What Are Dental Implant Restorations?

Dental implant restorations involve attaching artificial teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, to previously placed dental implants. While the surgical placement of the titanium implant posts is typically performed by an oral surgeon or periodontist, our focus is on the final step: restoring your smile with custom-made prosthetics that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental
Implant Restorations

There are many benefits to choosing dental implant restorations as a solution for missing teeth, including:

• Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel just like your natural teeth, making it nearly impossible for anyone to tell the difference.
• Improved Functionality: Dental implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. You won’t have to worry about slipping dentures or bridges that can be uncomfortable and inconvenient.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.
• Preserved Jawbone: Unlike traditional bridges or dentures that rest on top of the gums, dental implants are anchored in the jawbone, preserving the bone and preventing further deterioration.
• Improved Oral Health: Dental implants do not require the reduction of healthy teeth, preserving your oral health and overall well-being.

Our Dental Implant
Restoration Process

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation, Dr. Gulley will assess your oral health and determine if dental implant restorations are the right solution for you. We will discuss your goals and expectations and develop a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs.

Treatment Planning

Once we determine that you are a candidate for dental implant restorations, we will collaborate with your oral surgeon or periodontist who placed the implants. A thorough treatment plan will be created, including the design and fabrication of your custom restoration.

Impression Taking

Accurate impressions of your teeth and gums are taken to create a precise mold for your custom restoration. This ensures that your new teeth will fit perfectly and function seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Fabrication of Restoration

Using the latest technology and materials, our dental lab will fabricate your custom crown, bridge, or denture. The restoration will be designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a flawless appearance.

Final Restoration

Once your custom restoration is ready, it will be securely attached to the dental implants. Dr. Gulley will ensure that the fit and bite are perfect, making any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and functionality.

Follow-Up Care

After the final restoration, regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor your oral health and ensure the success of your dental implants. We will provide guidance on maintaining your new teeth and overall oral hygiene.
