Dental Implant Restorations in Howell, MI

What Are Implant Restorations?

Dental implant restorations represent a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike the initial surgical phase that involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, the restoration phase is all about the custom-made crown, bridge, or denture that is attached to the implant post. This phase is crucial as it provides the visible and functional aspect of the implant - the part that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.

The Dental Implants Restoration Treatment Process

Restoration Design

After the implant has integrated with the jawbone, the next step is to design the restoration. Impressions of your mouth are taken to create a perfectly fitting and natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture.

Trial And Adjustment

Before the final placement, a trial phase may be conducted where the restoration is temporarily placed. This allows for any necessary adjustments in fit or aesthetics, ensuring the final product is comfortable and visually pleasing.

Restoration Placement

The final step involves securely attaching the custom-made restoration to the implant post. This step ensures that the artificial tooth is not only comfortable but also blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural teeth.

Types of Tooth Extractions

View our services

Basic

This is an extraction performed on normal non-impacted teeth. Since these teeth are fully erupted and can be seen above the gum line, we don’t need to use surgical methods to gain access to the tooth.

A basic extraction may be needed because a tooth has become decayed, damaged, or needs to be removed in preparation for some other treatment. After loosening the tooth with a dental elevator, we remove it with forceps. This process is relatively fast and you will heal within a month.

Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth usually need to be removed because they are impacted. A lack of jaw space prevents them from fully erupting and this often causes problems such as pain, infection, damage to surrounding teeth, gum inflammation, difficulty cleaning the teeth, sinus problems, and cysts.

If any of these problems are occurring with your wisdom teeth, we recommend you have them removed. Impacted wisdom teeth will be removed surgically. After making an incision and sectioning the tooth, it is removed in the same way as a basic extraction. It will take 1 to 3 months to heal.

The Benefits of Dental Implant Restorations

Aesthetics And Comfort

Dental implant restorations are meticulously designed to mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth. This attention to detail ensures that the restorations blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural appearance that can be indistinguishable from your real teeth. The comfort factor is also a significant benefit, as these restorations are customized to fit perfectly in your mouth, avoiding the discomfort often associated with traditional dentures. The result is not only an enhanced smile but also a restoration that feels so natural, you may forget it’s there.

Functionality

Regaining full functionality of your teeth is one of the most significant benefits of dental implant restorations. They are stable and strong, allowing you to bite and chew all types of food without the fear of slipping or damage. This stability also contributes to clearer speech, as there’s no worry about the restoration moving out of place. Whether it's enjoying your favorite foods, speaking at a public event, or laughing heartily with friends, these restorations let you do it all with ease and confidence.

Longevity

One of the most appealing aspects of dental implant restorations is their longevity. When properly cared for, they can last as long as natural teeth. This durability is due to the high-quality materials used and the integration of the implant with the jawbone, which provides a stable foundation. Regular dental hygiene practices like brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups are generally sufficient to maintain these restorations, making them a cost-effective, long-term solution for tooth replacement.

Enhanced Self-Esteem

A complete and healthy-looking smile does wonders for your self-esteem and overall well-being. Dental implant restorations fill the gaps in your smile, improving its appearance and, in turn, how you feel about yourself. This can lead to a more positive outlook on life, increased willingness to engage in social situations, and a general boost in confidence. The psychological benefits of having a full, functional smile are profound and can significantly impact your personal and professional life.
