Napa Dentist Dr. Sasha Rozenberg recommends dental implants as the most effective way to replace missing teeth. However, the implant itself only replaces the tooth’s root beneath the gumline. To fully restore your smile, an implant restoration such as a custom dental crown is essential
Why should I get an implant restoration?
Implant restorations are a necessary part of any dental implant treatment plan. The implant itself is just a small piece of metal that acts as an artificial tooth root. To restore the tooth completely, you need a restoration like a dental crown, bridge, or set of dentures. Together, your dental implant and your implant restoration will keep you smiling for decades to come.
Did You Know...
Single-tooth dental implants are the most common type of implant, and use a single dental crown to replace one missing tooth.
Dental crowns are the most common implant restoration, and are used to restore a single missing tooth. They function exactly as a natural tooth does, and they blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
A dental bridge is used to replace several missing teeth in a row. An implant-supported bridge performs the same function, only it is attached to a dental implant instead of a natural tooth.
If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, a full-arch restoration can give you your smile back, without relying on uncomfortable dentures. Using several dental implants, we can anchor a durable, beautiful new smile that you’ll be proud to show off.
Using advanced technology, we can digitally scan your mouth and plan your treatment with precision and efficiency. You’ll even get a sneak peak at your completed smile, before treatment even begins!
The Benefits of Implant Restorations
Versatile Smile Restoration
Implant restorations can be used to replace one tooth with a crown, multiple teeth with a bridge, or a full mouth of teeth with implant-supported dentures. Implant restorations look, feel, and function just like real teeth. No matter how many teeth you’ve lost, you may be a good candidate for treatment with dental implants and an implant restoration.
Long-Lasting Results
When you care for them properly, your dental implants and your restorations could last decades. This is much longer than alternatives like dentures and traditional dental bridges, which makes implants a great long-term investment.
Minimal Special Care
If you get a single-tooth restoration with a dental crown, you can care for it like a normal tooth. Implant-supported bridges and dentures are also easy to maintain with proper oral hygiene. This makes your life more convenient.
The Implant Restoration Treatment Process
Dental Implant Placement
To begin the process, Dr. Sasha Rozenberg, our Napa dentist, will need to place one or more dental implants into your mouth. After this surgery is done, it may take up to six months for your mouth to fully heal.
Follow-Ups & Building The Restoration
After your implants are in place, you’ll come back to our office for a few follow-ups. During this time, your dentist will check your recovery. They will also take impressions or models of your mouth, and use these to begin designing and crafting your final implant restoration.
Final Dental Implant Restoration
Once your mouth is healed, Dr. Sasha will build your permanent implant restoration. You’ll come in for one last appointment when it arrives at our office. Dr. Sasha will check the restoration to make sure it fits. Then, she will permanently bond it to your implant and send you home to enjoy your brand-new smile.
