410-381-0505If you have lost one or more teeth, our dentist may suggest dental implants to restore your smile to its optimal health, appearance and functionality. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into the jawbone for a stable, permanent tooth replacement. A custom-made dental restoration is then attached on top of the implant to complete your tooth replacement. Because they are not removable like dentures, implants feel, function and look more like your natural teeth. With dental implants in Columbia, Maryland, we can enhance your smile’s appearance and restore your ability to eat and speak as normal.
What Is a Dental Implant Restoration?
A dental implant restoration is the final step in the dental implant process, designed to complete your smile after an implant post has been surgically placed in your jawbone. This restoration replaces the visible portion of your missing tooth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Whether you are replacing a single tooth or several teeth, a custom-designed restoration can help restore both the function and appearance of your smile.
Types of Implant Restorations
The type of implant restoration you need depends on how many teeth are missing. If you are missing one tooth, a dental crown will likely be used to cap the implant post. For multiple missing teeth, a dental bridge or even a full-arch denture may be the ideal option. Each restoration is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth in size, shape and color, providing a seamless and natural-looking result.
Durability & Aesthetic Appeal
Implant restorations are known for their strength, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. Once in place, your restoration will allow you to chew and speak normally while helping you maintain proper oral health. With good oral hygiene and routine dental visits, implant restorations can last many years.
