Dental Implant Restorations in Weston
The form and function provided by natural teeth are unsurpassed, so when individuals experience tooth loss, they may question how their smiles could ever look and feel normal again. Traditional tooth replacement options are limited in the benefits they provide.
Fortunately, a second chance at a fully-functional smile is available through dental implant restorations. Dr. Robert Harrington of Weston Dental Group has over twenty-five years of expertise in providing quality dentistry to patients seeking solutions to their tooth loss.
Who is a Candidate for Dental Implant Restorations?
Dental implants can restore a single tooth, a row of teeth, or a full arch of teeth. Dr. Harrington begins treatment with an assessment of your oral health. There is a small percentage of patients who lack sufficient bone density for dental implants, and Dr. Harrington may recommend a bone graft to fortify the jaw before he proceeds with implant placement.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants restorations are essentially replacement teeth, that can replace a tooth from root to crown. Implants posts are made of titanium and they are strategically placed in the jaw bone. Then, because of their biocompatibility, bone growth surrounds the posts, fusing them securely into the jaw. This process typically requires about three to four months.
Amazing Benefits of Implant-Supported Restorations
Implant posts are a virtual replacement of a tooth root. This is what sets them apart from all other tooth replacement options. They have a 95% rate of success and provide several amazing benefits:
Patients regain full chewing force function.
They prevent atrophy of the jawbone, a condition that causes people’s mouths to appear sunken and prematurely aged.
Implant restorations are permanent, eliminating many of the inconveniences of removable dentures, such as slippage, soft tissue soreness, speech difficulties, and frequent adjustments.
Beautiful Restorative Crowns for Natural Smiles.
Restorative crowns are attached to the posts with an abutment, and they shine with the luminosity of real tooth enamel that is identically matched to surrounding dentition. In the case of full arch replacements, patients collaborate with Dr. Harrington in designing crowns that complement their natural beauty and reflect their personal styles and preferences. Prosthetic crowns can be made of either porcelain or ceramic material.
