Losing a tooth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile. Dental implants offer one of the most dependable ways to replace missing teeth, but the process isn’t complete until your new artificial tooth is restored. At Smiley Dental Group in Columbus, OH, Dr. Holowicki, Dr. Moore, and Dr. Renshaw provide customized implant restoration services to help you regain full function and a confident, natural-looking smile.
What Is a Dental Implant Restoration?
A dental implant restoration is the final step of the dental implant process. Once your titanium post, the artificial tooth root, is securely placed into the jawbone, a custom dental crown is added on top to complete your tooth restoration. This crown is designed to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.
By completing the implant restoration process, you’ll enjoy the strength, comfort, and stability of a new tooth that supports your bite and overall oral health. This type of dental restoration prevents bone loss, helps maintain your facial structure, and restores confidence in your smile.
The Benefits of Restoring Dental Implants
A fully restored implant offers lasting advantages that go beyond appearance. Choosing dental implant restoration at Smiley Dental Group means you’ll benefit from:
- Secure implant placement that functions like a natural tooth
- Restored ability to chew and speak with ease
- Improved comfort and confidence in your smile
- Protection against tooth loss–related bone loss
- Long-term support for healthy gums and oral health
With our personalized approach, each type of dental restoration is planned to meet your specific needs, ensuring you receive the best possible results.
The Dental Implant Restoration Process
Your implant restoration process happens in a few key stages:
Healing and Implant Bonding
After the initial implant placement, your jawbone naturally fuses with the implant post in a process called osseointegration. This secure foundation ensures stability for your future dental crown.
Abutment Placement
Once healing is complete, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. This piece links the artificial tooth root to your final restoration.
Final Custom Dental Crown
The last step is the placement of your custom-made crown, matched carefully to the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth. The result is a seamless, durable new tooth that restores both beauty and function.
What to Expect and How to Care for Your Implant
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the dental implant restoration procedure. Our team uses local anesthesia for your comfort and provides detailed aftercare instructions for proper healing. Once your new dental crown is in place, it will look and feel like one of your real teeth.
Caring for your dental implant is simple. Brush twice a day, floss carefully around the implant area, and maintain regular dental appointments to ensure lasting success. With proper care, your implant restoration can last for decades.
