Dental Implant Restoration in Marietta at Cobb Center for Advanced Dentistry

If you have a missing tooth, a dental implant restoration could be the ideal solution for restoring your smile. Dental implants are titanium posts (though they can also be made from materials like zirconium) placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a lost tooth.

Components of Dental Implant Restoration

A dental implant restoration consists of two main components:

  • Implant: This serves as an artificial root, securely placed in the jawbone.
  • Restoration: The restoration replaces the lost tooth and can be fitted with a crown, dentures, or a bridge.

Implants are highly recommended due to their ability to preserve bone tissue. By transferring bite forces into the jaw, implants provide necessary stimulation to the surrounding tissues, effectively preventing bone breakdown—an issue common after tooth loss.

What to Expect During Dental Implant Restoration

Patients have options when it comes to their dental implant restoration:

  • Choice of Restoration: Depending on the number of teeth lost, implants can support crowns for single-tooth replacement or serve as a base for dentures or bridges for multiple missing teeth.
  • Material Options: Popular choices include porcelain crowns, which offer excellent aesthetics by closely matching the color and translucency of natural teeth.

The Dental Implant Process

Getting a Implant Restoration in Marietta typically involves two surgical procedures:

  1. Initial Surgery: The dentist assesses the patient’s eligibility for implants, ensuring adequate jawbone density. If necessary, bone grafts may be performed to enhance bone support. During this surgery, the implant is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Over several months, osseointegration occurs, where the implant fuses with the bone for stability.
  2. Second Appointment: Following healing, a second procedure involves reopening the gum to attach an abutment to the implant. Impressions are taken to create a customized restoration, which is then attached to the implant after a healing period.
