Dental Implants Restoration

Restoring Your Smile In Richmond, VA

Dental implants are a safe and effective long-term solution for patients who have missing teeth. The implant is made of titanium, which acts as an artificial tooth root. The titanium base offers a strong, solid foundation for the replacement tooth. A dental implant is designed to act and feel just like your natural teeth and is quickly becoming the new standard for tooth replacement.

Although implants are durable, they sometimes need to be restored due to damage, improper fit, changes in oral health or just normal wear and tear. James River Family Dentistry is pleased to offer implant restorations to help protect the integrity of the implant and prevent complications and bone loss.

Benefits Of Dental Implants

There are many benefits to having implants as replacement teeth including:

Improved appearance

Dental implants are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth. They are strong and do not slip like dentures or bridges.

Improved speech

Speech may be affected by missing teeth. Since dental implants function like natural teeth, you will be able to speak and chew normally

Enjoy life

Enjoy life without ever having to worry about dentures slipping or malfunctioning.

No decay

They will not decay as they are made of porcelain or composite resin.

Protect healthy bone

Dental implants are the only restorative procedure that preserves and stimulates bone growth as they are placed directly into the jawbone. They actually help prevent bone loss.

Face shape

Retain your natural face shape and smile with confidence.

What To Expect with Dental Implants

There are three components of a dental implant including the implant, the abutment and the crown or prosthetic tooth. Dental implants are set in the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth. After some time healing, the jawbone will fuse with the new artificial root, creating a strong base for the placement of a crown. The crown is custom-made to match the other teeth in the mouth and is then attached to the implant. The end result is an artificial tooth that looks and functions just like your natural teeth.

Signs that your dental implant needs restoration

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that are surgically placed into your jawbone. Once the implant fuses with the bone, it provides a sturdy foundation for a lifelike replacement tooth, known as a crown. Dental implants offer a host of benefits!

Dental implants are designed to be long-lasting, but various factors can lead to the need for restoration:

Normal Wear and Tear

Over time, the components of your dental implant, such as the crown or abutment, may experience wear and tear, requiring replacement.

Infection or Gum Disease

Infection around the implant site or gum disease can compromise the stability of your implant, necessitating treatment and restoration.

Pain or Discomfort

If you experience pain or discomfort around your dental implant, it’s essential to seek professional evaluation.

Loosening or Movement

If your implant becomes loose or starts to shift, it can impact your bite and the implant’s stability, making restoration essential.

Cosmetic Concerns

Changes in the appearance of your dental implant, such as discoloration or chipping, can be addressed through restoration to maintain a natural look.

Bone Loss

Gradual bone loss around the implant can affect its stability, requiring a restoration to reinforce its support.
