Your restoration is the final step in the dental implant process. It is also the most rewarding part. At this phase, you get your new tooth or prosthetic and walk out of our dental office with a fully functioning and beautiful smile.
It’s true! The moment your Tazewell dentist attaches your prosthetic to the implant, you’re free to eat, smile, and enjoy your time.
The Dental Implant and Restoration Process
After a consultation to determine whether dental implants suit you, a specialist carefully plans your implant placement. This means using image-guided technology to place an artificial tooth root into the jawbone precisely. It may be a single tooth root for each lost tooth or four to six implants for a fixed denture or bridge of restoration teeth.
After the implants heal and integrate into the jawbone, your restoration dentist in Tazewell places your prosthetic—tooth crown, bridge, or denture. The prosthetic is custom-crafted to look natural and function beautifully.
Aside from natural teeth, dental implants are the next best thing.
Dental Implant Care and Upkeep
Be sure to brush and floss daily and continue seeing your dentist every six months for preventive checkups. Also, we urge you to never use your teeth or implants for tasks other than chewing or smiling. Never twist off caps, carry items, or do anything similar. Additionally, always report oral health changes to your dentist sooner rather than later, including gum inflammation, cracked restoration, or oral pain.
With excellent oral hygiene, ongoing dental care, and smart choices, your implants can last for decades and even a lifetime.
