Implant Restoration
Reanna B.
Keeping your smile in top condition is important to your health and the way you feel. That’s why we work hard at Thomas Dental, in Phoenix, AZ to ensure that all your teeth are well taken care of. When a tooth becomes damaged or decayed beyond repair, dental implants are an option that look and function just like your natural teeth. The process is simple for our dental team to surgically place an anchor for a replacement tooth and restore your smile with long-lasting results.
Dental implants are strong and designed to last a lifetime, but they also need care, much like your natural teeth. Our dental office can help you determine how to keep your implants looking and feeling their best.
How Does Implant Restoration Work?
Many people put off going to the dentist when their implant appears damaged or has made their bite uncomfortable because they are worried that the implant will need to be removed and replaced. This is rarely the case! Our expert team at Thomas Dental, in Phoenix, AZ is typically able to fix the issue without any lengthy or invasive procedures.
Damage or wear and tear impacting a dental implant usually only affects the crown, or the top part of the implant that looks like a tooth, and does not impact the implant itself beneath the surface. The implant itself often remains unaffected, safely in place in your jaw.
You deserve a smile that makes you feel comfortable and confident. At Thomas Dental, in Phoenix, AZ, we’re committed to going above and beyond to make the process pleasant and relaxing while we work to ensure that you get the results you desire. We want every patient to feel excited about their smile. Consult with our dental office to find out if implant restoration can benefit you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of implant restorations are available at Thomas Dental?
We offer single-tooth crowns, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch implant dentures, all designed to match your natural smile and bite comfortably.
What’s the difference between an implant and an implant restoration?
The implant is the titanium post placed in your jawbone, while the implant restoration is the visible part — the crown, bridge, or denture — that attaches to it.
How do I know if I need an implant restoration?
You may need an implant restoration if you have a missing tooth, a damaged implant crown, or an older restoration that’s become loose or worn. A consultation with your dentist can confirm the best solution for your needs.
What are the main benefits of dental implant restoration?
Implant restorations offer superior stability, preserve jawbone health, prevent shifting of nearby teeth, and provide a long-term, natural-looking replacement that feels like your own tooth.
Does the implant restoration procedure hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort thanks to local anesthesia and sedation options. Mild soreness after placement is common, but it subsides quickly with proper care and medication.
How long do dental implant restorations last?
With proper care, implant restorations can last 15 years or more. The implant post itself can often last a lifetime with regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene.
How does an implant restoration differ from a regular crown?
Unlike traditional crowns that fit over natural teeth, implant restorations are attached to titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, offering unmatched stability and bone support.
How do I care for my dental implant restoration?
Brush and floss daily, use a soft-bristled toothbrush, avoid hard foods, and visit your dentist every six months for professional cleaning and checkups.
