As a person who hates the dentist, I absolutely loved this office! The dental hygienist who took care of me (Carol) was so welcoming and personable, made me feel comfortable, answered all my questions and did an overall great job! I was seen by Dr. contractor who was also awesome and delivered information in a way that was easy to understand without causing any unnecessary anxiety! I am glad I made the decision to come here and I would recommend them to anyone!
Our Philosophy on Implant Restoration
“Successful implant restorations require precise attention to both function and aesthetics,” explains our dental team. “We believe that the final restoration is just as important as the implant itself, and our meticulous approach ensures that patients receive restorations that look natural, feel comfortable, and function reliably for decades.”
Understanding Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implant restorations are the visible, functional components that attach to surgically placed implant posts. These custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence while providing the natural appearance you desire.
The restoration process requires careful coordination between precise measurements, custom fabrication, and expert placement to ensure optimal results. Each restoration is designed specifically for your mouth, bite, and aesthetic preferences.
Types of Implant Restorations We Provide
Our comprehensive implant restoration services accommodate various treatment needs, from single missing teeth to complete arch rehabilitation. Each restoration type offers unique advantages depending on your specific situation.
- Single Implant Crowns: Individual crowns that replace one missing tooth, designed to match your natural teeth perfectly in color, shape, and function
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Fixed bridges that span multiple missing teeth using strategically placed implants for support without affecting adjacent natural teeth
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Removable or fixed dentures that attach securely to implants, providing dramatically improved stability and chewing function
The Implant Restoration Process
Successful implant restoration begins with thorough evaluation of your existing implants, surrounding tissues, and bite relationships. We assess implant stability, gum health, and bone support to ensure optimal conditions for restoration placement.
Digital impressions and bite registration capture precise measurements needed for custom restoration fabrication. Advanced imaging allows us to design restorations that integrate seamlessly with your natural teeth and facial features.
Treatment planning considers your specific functional needs, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle requirements to create restorations that exceed your expectations while providing long-term reliability.

Advanced Materials and Technology
Modern implant restoration materials provide exceptional strength, durability, and natural appearance. Porcelain, zirconia, and advanced composite materials offer different advantages depending on your specific restoration needs.
Material selection considers factors including restoration location, bite forces, aesthetic requirements, and long-term durability expectations to ensure optimal performance.
- All-Ceramic Restorations: Metal-free options that provide superior aesthetics and biocompatibility for front teeth and patients with metal sensitivities
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal: Time-tested materials that combine excellent strength with natural appearance for back teeth handling heavy chewing forces
- Zirconia Restorations: Ultra-strong ceramic materials that resist chipping and provide excellent longevity for high-stress situations
- Hybrid Materials: Advanced composites that offer flexibility and repairability while maintaining excellent aesthetic properties and durability
Implant Restoration Maintenance and Care
Proper care ensures your implant restorations provide decades of reliable service. Daily oral hygiene, regular professional maintenance, and protective measures help preserve both the restoration and supporting implant.
Daily Care Requirements
Implant restorations require the same excellent oral hygiene as natural teeth, with special attention to areas where the restoration meets the gum line. Proper cleaning prevents inflammation and complications that could affect implant health.
- Brush twice daily with soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste
- Floss daily using implant-specific floss or interdental cleaners designed for implant care
- Use antimicrobial mouth rinse to reduce bacteria around implant sites
- Avoid hard foods that could damage restoration materials or implant connections
- Schedule regular professional cleanings and implant maintenance appointments
- Report any changes in fit, comfort, or function promptly for evaluation

Multiple fittings may be necessary to achieve optimal comfort, function, and aesthetics. We take time to ensure every detail meets our exacting standards before final placement.
Long-Term Success and Longevity
Well-made implant restorations typically last 10-15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. Regular professional monitoring allows for early detection and correction of any issues before they become major problems.
Factors Affecting Implant Lifespan
Restoration longevity depends on several factors including material quality, oral hygiene habits, bite forces, and regular professional care. Understanding these factors helps you maximize your restoration investment.
Good oral hygiene and avoiding destructive habits like teeth grinding significantly extend restoration lifespan. Professional maintenance visits allow for cleaning, adjustments, and early problem detection.
