What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They consist of three parts:
- Implant post – A titanium screw that acts as an artificial tooth root, placed snugly into the jawbone.
- Abutment – A connector that links the implant post to the prosthetic tooth.
- Crown – A natural-looking prosthetic tooth placed on top of the abutment.
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are securely anchored to the jawbone, allowing them to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Conditions Treated with Dental Implants
Dental implants are versatile and can address a range of dental issues, including:
- Single missing teeth
- Severe tooth damage beyond repair
- Multiple lost teeth (using bridges or All-on-4 solutions)
- Full-arch tooth replacements
They’re an ideal solution for individuals looking for durability and a natural look.
How Common Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants have become one of the most popular tooth replacement options worldwide due to their success rate and longevity. Millions of people choose implants each year, appreciating a life free from the discomfort and inconvenience of other temporary solutions like traditional dentures.

The Dental Implant Process
At Restoration Dental, we’ve streamlined the dental implant process to ensure your comfort at every step. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment.
- Initial Consultation
- Implant Placement Surgery
- Abutment Placement
- Final Restoration
Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and take imaging to determine if you have sufficient bone density for implants. This consultation allows us to create a personalized treatment plan catered to your needs.
Using advanced technology, the implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. This serves as the artificial root and is left to heal for 6-12 weeks, during which it fuses with your natural bone through osseointegration.
Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant post. This acts as the foundation for your new tooth.
A custom crown is crafted to match your natural teeth' size, shape, and color. It is securely attached to the abutment, completing your smile restoration.

Dental implants are a long-term investment in your oral health and overall quality of life. They offer several benefits, including:
- Permanent and durable solution for missing teeth
- Natural appearance and feel
- Improved ability to speak and chew comfortably

Risks or Complications of Dental Implants
While dental implants are overwhelmingly successful, as with any procedure, there are potential risks such as infection, implant failure, or nerve damage. These complications are rare but can usually be avoided with proper care and choosing an experienced dental team like Restoration Dental.
How Long Does It Take to Recover?
Recovery from implant placement surgery typically takes a few days, with full osseointegration occurring over a span of several weeks or months. During the early recovery phase, patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication and ice packs.

How Do I Care for My Dental Implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are crucial. We will provide specific care instructions tailored to your situation to ensure the longevity of your implants.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
Dental implants are renowned for their durability and longevity. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, they can last a lifetime. The lifespan of a dental implant largely depends on factors such as the patient’s oral health, lifestyle, and the quality of care following the procedure. On average, dental implants can last anywhere from 25 years to a lifetime. It’s important to note that while the implant itself can last decades, the crown attached to the implant may need replacement due to wear and tear, typically every 10 to 15 years.
