Dental Implants

If you have lost a tooth due to decay, injury or gum disease, dental implant restorations provide a durable and natural-looking replacement. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, it integrate with your jawbone to create a stable foundation for a custom restoration. This approach restores both function and aesthetics, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.

At Care Dental Spa, Dr. Quang Luong offers dental implants as a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth.

The Dental Implant Restoration Process

The process begins after the placement of a titanium implant post into your jawbone. This post serves as an artificial tooth root and must undergo osseointegration, a process where the bone fuses with the implant to ensure stability. 

Once the implant has fully integrated, an abutment is attached to serve as a connector between the implant and the final restoration. Depending on the number of missing teeth, the restoration may be a single crown, an implant-supported bridge or a full-arch prosthesis. Each restoration is custom-designed to match the size, shape and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.

Types of Implant Restorations
  • Single-Tooth Implant Restoration: A custom dental crown is placed on a single implant to replace an individual missing tooth.
  • Implant-Supported Bridge: If multiple adjacent teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge restores function and aesthetics without requiring an individual implant for each missing tooth.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures provide a secure and comfortable alternative to removable dentures.

The Benefits of Dental Implant Restorations

Implant restorations offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options. Because implants integrate with the jawbone, they help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure. They also eliminate the discomfort and slipping associated with removable dentures. With proper care, implant restorations can last for decades, making them a long-term investment in your oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental implant restorations last?

Implant restorations are designed to be a long-term solution for missing teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, the implant post can last a lifetime. The restoration, such as a crown or bridge, typically lasts 10 to 15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear. Factors like grinding your teeth or poor oral care can shorten their lifespan.

The restoration process is carefully planned to minimize discomfort. The implant placement surgery is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring you do not feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, mild soreness and swelling are common but manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. By the time the restoration is placed, any discomfort has typically subsided.

Yes,  restorations allow you to eat a full range of foods comfortably. Unlike removable dentures, implants provide stability, so there are no restrictions on hard or chewy foods. However, it is best to avoid excessively hard items, like ice or unpopped popcorn kernels, to prevent damage to the restoration.

Caring for a dental implant restoration is similar to maintaining natural teeth. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily and using an antibacterial mouthwash help keep the surrounding gum tissue and implant clean. Regular dental checkups are also essential to monitor the health of the implant and ensure the restoration remains secure and functional.

Insurance coverage for  restorations varies by provider and plan. Some policies may cover parts of the treatment, such as the restoration itself, while others may classify implants as elective. Many dental offices offer financing options to make implant restorations more affordable. Checking with your insurance provider can clarify coverage details.
