There are two components to implant restorations, as the name suggests: the implant itself which is placed in the jaw to become an artificial root, and the restoration that attaches to it, such as a crown, bridges, or set of dentures. They are used to replace missing or damaged teeth and restore your smile to its optimal health and appearance. Contact our Studio City dental office today to schedule your implant restorations appointment.
Single-tooth restorations replace a missing or damaged tooth with an implant and typically a crown placement. Dr. Lisa will consult with you to discuss the best restoration option for your case.
In patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, a full arch restoration is a beneficial solution. This comprehensive treatment involves the placement of dental implants in your upper or lower jaw attached to a full denture, giving your smile a brand new look.
Implant-supported bridges are one of the strongest restorative dentistry options available. They are similar to regular bridges except that they’re supported by dental implants on either end and can last upwards of twenty years or longer.
While implants and dentures each have pros and cons for specific use cases, implants often have the upper hand when it comes to stability since they are fixed in place and don’t require an adhesive, like dentures normally do.
Since we have to surgically fuse them to your jaw, dental implants cannot be removed at home. If your implants have to be removed for some reason, it will require an in-office surgical procedure to take them out.
We’ll use local or anesthesia to numb you before your procedure, which keeps any discomfort to a minimum. We also offer sleep dentistry if requested! After your procedure there may be some swelling and pain, but you can use over-the-counter pain relievers to keep you comfortable.
Dental implants can last a lifetime as long as you care for them as you would your other teeth: with regular flossing and brushing. Our Studio City dentist will give you specific care instructions so you can maintain proper oral health for a lifetime.
