Dental Implant Restoration - Mooresville, NC

Dental implant restoration replaces or repairs damaged or missing teeth with artificial ones. The procedure involves surgically placing an implant, usually made of titanium, into the jawbone to replace the root of the missing tooth. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a crown or bridge is attached, giving you back your natural-looking and fully functional teeth.

Dental Implant Restoration Process:

Consultation:

The first step in dental implant restoration is a consultation with your dentist. They will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment options, and address any concerns or questions you may have.

Treatment planning:

Once you and your dentist decide that dental implants are the right option, a comprehensive treatment plan will be created. This plan includes the number of implants needed, the placement location, and the type of restoration (crown, bridge, etc.) that will be used.

Implant placement:

The dental implant procedure involves surgically placing the implant into the jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a stable foundation for the restoration.

Healing period:

After implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to integrate with the jawbone through osseointegration. This can take several months, during which temporary restorations may be provided.

Abutment placement:

Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a small connector called an abutment is placed on top of the implant. The abutment serves as a link between the implant and the final restoration.

Final restoration:

Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-made restoration that will match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color. Depending on your specific needs, this could be a crown, bridge, or denture. The final restoration is then securely attached to the abutment.

Follow-up visits:

After the restoration is placed, you will have follow-up visits with your dentist to ensure that everything is functioning properly and that your oral health is maintained. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for the long-term success of your dental implant restoration.
