We can provide patients with an excellent implant restoration after a dental crown wears down. Our implant restorations save you time and money, providing you with the aesthetic enhancements you are looking for, as well as the appropriate day-to-day function you expect from a tooth replacement. If you have lost a tooth or more than one tooth, dental implants are a great tooth replacement option to consider.
The implant is actually an artificial tooth root that provides permanency for the actual tooth replacement. If you have ever received a dental implant, you know how effective they are at providing the necessary functions of teeth. These functions can include chewing, speaking, and smiling, as well as good oral health.
Dental Implant Restoration
Upon receiving a dental implant, the crown is the only part one can see. The dental implant is a post that resides under the gum line in the jaw. The crown is the tooth-colored, tooth-shaped portion above the gum line that patients use to chew every day. A dental implant can last a lifetime since we surgically implant it into the jawbone, but the crown that covers it often does not last as long as the implant root due to everyday use.
Since the implant stabilizes from the placement in the jaw, a crown covering provides excellent support for chewing and speaking with a natural-looking appearance. Unfortunately, the materials that dental crowns consist of are not as strong as the titanium in the implant. With time and consistent use, the crown may begin to deteriorate or shrink. When this occurs, our Chatsworth dental office can provide an implant restoration that will save the patient time and money.
No need for complete implant replacement
There is no reason to replace the entire implant, only the visible crown. Often, dentists will claim it is necessary to remove the post in order to effectively replace the visible portion of the restoration. We can replace the crown without performing an extensive procedure that removes the post and costs more money and takes longer to heal.
In most cases, we will attach the restoration to the implant by a screw or dental cement. The design makes it easy for us to disassemble the crown from the implant in a minimally invasive fashion that does not require a recovery period. In some cases, the screws that hold the crown on to the implant can become loose. We can easily tighten or replace screws that are not functioning properly. The materials we use for implant restoration are durable and stain resilient. We will match them to the surrounding teeth for the most natural appearance. We guarantee our implant restorations will last for years and will provide a beautiful smile.
