Single Implants: Restoring One Tooth at a Time

When it comes to restoring a single implant, our goal is to create a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Here’s how we do it:

1. Examination: We begin by examining your implant to ensure it has healed properly and is stable enough to support restoration.

2. Attaching the Abutment: Once we confirm the implant is ready, we will attach an abutment to the implant post. The abutment serves as a secure base for your new crown.

3. Placing the Crown: Finally, we will cement the custom-made crown onto the abutment, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile.

Our careful approach ensures that your restored tooth looks and feels natural, providing you with both comfort and confidence.

Implant-Supported Bridges: Replacing Multiple Teeth

For patients missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges are an excellent solution. This process involves placing two implants in the jawbone to support a bridge that spans the gap left by missing teeth. Here’s what the process entails:

1. Placing the Implants: The doctor will place two implants in your jawbone to secure the bridge in place.

2. Healing Time: After the implants are placed, we’ll allow time for the area to heal and the implants to integrate with your jawbone.

3. Attaching the Bridge: Once healed, abutments are placed on each implant post, and a custom bridge prosthetic—composed of multiple fused crowns—is attached, restoring both function and aesthetics.

Implant-supported bridges offer a secure and durable solution to replacing multiple missing teeth, helping restore your smile's full functionality.

Restoration with Same-Day Crowns: Fast, Efficient, and Convenient

Using state-of-the-art CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, we can create a custom dental crown in just one visit! Unlike traditional methods that require multiple appointments and waiting for weeks, our same-day crown process is fast, efficient, and convenient. Here’s how it works:

1. Digital Impression: First, we take a digital scan of your implant, gums, and surrounding teeth.

2. Designing Your Crown: This scan is uploaded to our advanced design software, where our dentist will digitally sculpt and perfect your new crown.

3. Milling the Crown: Once we’re satisfied with the design, the plans are sent to our milling machine, which will carve and contour the crown from a block of ceramic in about 20 minutes.

4. Cementing the Crown: After the crown is ready, we’ll cement it into place, completing the restoration in just one visit.

Thanks to CEREC technology, you can say goodbye to temporary crowns and enjoy a durable, long-term solution—ready within the hour!
