Revolutionizing Smiles with Implant Restorations at Dillard Dental Services
Dental implants are a reliable and popular way for patients to effectively and dependably replace one or more teeth in the smile. However, they require several components to be completed fully. This includes the dental implant restoration that attaches to the abutment of the implant to complete the process. Dr. Leslie Dillard of Dillard Dental Services in Nashville, Tennessee, is pleased to offer dental implant restorations for patients in her office.
What role do implant restorations play in restorative dentistry?
The Dillard Dental Services team specializes in offering high-quality implant restorations as part of their comprehensive restorative dental services. Implant restorations are crucial in restorative dentistry because they provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, helping to restore the function, aesthetics, and overall health of a patient’s smile.
Implant restorations are the final step in the process of getting dental implants. Dental implants comprise small, compact titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jawbone, where they function as artificial teeth roots. These posts fuse with the bone over time, providing a stable and robust foundation for replacement teeth.
After the dental implant has successfully integrated with the jaw’s natural bone, the post is then fitted with an abutment. This serves as a connector between the dental implant and its final restoration. The type of dental restoration used depends on the location, number of missing teeth in the smile, and the patient’s individual needs and preferences.
How are implants restored at Dillard Dental Services?
Some common types of implant restorations include:
- Single crowns. These are used to replace a single missing tooth. The crown is attached to the abutment and blends seamlessly with the surrounding restorations and natural teeth.
- Bridges. Like traditional dental bridges, our implant-supported bridges are used when several teeth are missing in a row. Implants on either side support the bridge and can restore function and aesthetics to the smile.
- Dentures. Our implant-supported dentures are a great solution for patients missing all or most of their teeth. They are secured to the implants, providing a more stable and comfortable fit and function than traditional dentures.
At Dillard Dental Services, our team uses state-of-the-art technology and techniques to create custom-made implant restorations that are durable, functional, and natural-looking. We work closely with each patient to ensure their restoration fits comfortably and meets their needs and goals.
