Implant Restorations are designed to replace missing teeth while restoring comfort, stability, and confidence. When a tooth is lost, the effects often go beyond appearance. Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech, bone density, and long-term oral health. Implant restorations provide a reliable solution that supports both function and aesthetics.
At Sommers Family Dentistry in Norwalk, Ohio, implant restorations are part of a comprehensive approach to restorative dentistry. Our goal is to help patients regain a natural feel and seamless appearance while supporting long-term dental health and quality of life.
Implant restorations are the visible teeth that attach to dental implants after the implant post has been placed and healed. The dental implant acts as an artificial root, typically made from a titanium post that integrates with the jawbone. Once healing is complete, a final restoration is placed to replace the missing tooth or teeth.
Implant restorations can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch of teeth. Each restoration is custom-designed to blend with your natural teeth and fit comfortably along the gum line.
Tooth loss can lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, and changes in bite alignment. Implant restorations help address these concerns by providing a stable foundation that supports oral health over time.
Benefits of implant restorations include:
For many patients, implant restorations are a popular choice because they restore function while maintaining the appearance of original teeth.
There are different types of dental implant restorations based on a patient’s specific needs, the number of missing teeth, and overall oral health.
A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth without affecting nearby natural teeth. This option includes an implant post and a custom dental restoration that mimics the shape and color of a natural tooth. It is often considered the simplest type of dental restoration when replacing a single missing tooth.
When multiple teeth are missing in a row, fewer implants may be used to support a bridge. This option offers a stable alternative to traditional bridges and helps preserve bone structure.
Implant dentures are used when a full arch of teeth needs to be replaced. These restorations may be removable or fixed and are supported by multiple implants for added stability. Options include partial implant dentures and full arch restorations designed to improve comfort and function.
Traditional dentures and bridges rely on neighboring teeth or gum tissue for support. Implant restorations are anchored directly into the jawbone, offering unique benefits in stability and longevity.
Compared to removable dentures or traditional bridges, implant restorations:
This makes implant restorations a top choice for many patients seeking a reliable and long-term solution.
The implant restoration process begins with an initial consultation. During this visit, your dentist will evaluate bone density, oral health, and treatment options. Digital imaging helps guide precise planning for implant placement and restoration design.
The process typically includes:
Throughout each step, our team focuses on comfort, clear communication, and education so patients feel informed and confident in their care.
Implant restorations are suitable for many adults who have experienced tooth loss and maintain good oral health. Adequate bone density and healthy gums are important factors in successful outcomes.
Patients with missing teeth, including those with a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth, may benefit from implant restorations. Regular dental appointments and good oral hygiene habits help support long-term success.
Proper care is essential for maintaining implant restorations. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits help protect both the restoration and surrounding tissues.
