Understanding Implant Restoration
Implant restoration is the final phase of the dental implant process, where a custom-made artificial tooth (crown) is attached to a previously placed dental implant. The implant itself is a titanium post surgically embedded into your jawbone, functioning as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant integrates with your bone, the restoration component—typically a crown, bridge, or denture—is secured to complete the process. This combination provides a stable, long-lasting replacement that mimics natural teeth in both appearance and function.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Planning
During your first visit to Advanced Torrance Dental Group, Dr. Soltani will conduct a comprehensive examination of your oral health, including detailed imaging to assess bone density and structure. We’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns you might have about the implant restoration process. This thorough evaluation allows us to determine if you’re a good candidate for implant restoration and develop a preliminary treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Digital Design and Material Selection
Based on your examination results, Dr. Soltani will create a personalized implant restoration plan addressing your unique situation. This plan outlines the number of implants needed, type of restoration (single crown, bridge, or full arch), timeline for treatment, and associated costs. We’ll explain each step of the process in detail and answer all your questions before proceeding, ensuring you feel completely comfortable with the proposed treatment approach.
Precision Placement and Connection
The treatment process begins with the surgical placement of the dental implant if not already completed. Following a healing period allowing the implant to integrate with your jawbone (osseointegration), we’ll take precise impressions to create your custom dental implant crown. Using advanced materials and technologies, your restoration is crafted to match your natural teeth perfectly in both appearance and function, ensuring a seamless addition to your smile.
Personalized Care Instructions
After your implant restoration is placed, Dr. Soltani will provide detailed instructions for proper care and maintenance. This includes specific brushing and flossing techniques for cleaning around your implant, recommended oral hygiene products, and guidance on foods to avoid initially. Regular dental check-ups are essential for monitoring your implant restoration and addressing any concerns early, helping to ensure the longevity of your investment in oral health.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
We schedule a follow-up appointment approximately two weeks after your implant restoration placement to check healing and make any necessary adjustments. Dr. Soltani will verify that your bite alignment is comfortable and the restoration fits perfectly with surrounding teeth. Ongoing periodic evaluations during your regular dental visits will help maintain the health of your implant restoration, with professional cleanings adapted to safely care for your dental implant crown.

FAQs
Are dental implants considered major restorative?
Dental implants are indeed classified as major restorative procedures in dentistry due to their comprehensive nature in replacing both the root and crown of missing teeth. The procedure involves surgical placement of the implant post, followed by a healing period, and then attachment of the final restoration. Many dental insurance plans categorize implant restorations under major restorative services, which typically have different coverage parameters than standard preventive or basic restorative care.
Can dental implants restore face shape?
Dental implants can significantly restore face shape by preventing the bone resorption that occurs when teeth are missing. When teeth are lost, the jawbone gradually deteriorates, leading to a sunken facial appearance, wrinkles around the mouth, and decreased distance between nose and chin. Implants stimulate the jawbone through chewing forces, maintaining bone volume and preserving facial contours that might otherwise collapse with alternative tooth replacement options or no replacement at all.
Can dental implants restore bone loss?
Dental implants can halt progressive bone loss by providing stimulation to the jawbone that mimics natural tooth roots. While implants themselves don’t reverse existing bone loss, they prevent further deterioration by transmitting chewing forces to the bone tissue. For cases with significant pre-existing bone loss, supplemental procedures like bone grafting may be recommended before implant placement to restore adequate bone volume and density, creating a proper foundation for successful implant restoration.
How to restore implant crown?
Restoring an implant crown involves taking precise impressions or digital scans of the implant position to create a custom-designed replacement crown. The dentist will select appropriate materials based on the location of the implant and aesthetic needs, with porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-ceramic options being most common. Once fabricated, the new crown is either screwed directly onto the implant or cemented onto an abutment that connects to the implant, restoring both function and appearance.
What are implant restorations?
Implant restorations are the visible, functional portions of a dental implant system that replace the crown portion of missing teeth. These restorations connect to dental implants (the titanium posts embedded in the jawbone) through specialized abutments and can take various forms depending on how many teeth need replacement. Common implant restorations include single crowns for individual missing teeth, implant-supported bridges for multiple adjacent missing teeth, and full-arch prosthetics like implant-retained dentures for complete tooth replacement.
