Restore Your Smile With Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implants are one of the most effective ways to replace missing teeth—but the restoration placed on top is what truly completes your smile. At Whispering Creek Dental, we specialize in implant restorations that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Whether you need a single crown, a bridge, or a full-arch solution, our goal is to help you regain a confident, healthy smile that lasts for years to come.
What Are Implant Restorations?
An implant restoration is the visible portion of your dental implant—the part that replaces your missing tooth or teeth above the gum line. Once your implant post has fused with your jawbone, a custom-made restoration is attached to restore both appearance and function.
There are several types of implant restorations, depending on your needs:
- Single Implant Crowns: Replace one missing tooth with a natural-looking crown supported by a single implant.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth in a row, offering better stability than traditional bridges.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: A great solution for patients missing most or all teeth, providing a secure, comfortable fit without adhesives.
Benefits of Implant Restorations
Choosing implant restorations offers a wide range of long-term benefits:
- Natural Appearance: Each restoration is color-matched and shaped to blend perfectly with your existing teeth.
- Improved Function: Eat, speak, and smile comfortably without worrying about slipping or shifting.
- Long-Term Durability: With proper care, dental implants and restorations can last for decades.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate your jawbone, helping prevent bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.
- Easy Maintenance: You can care for your restoration just like a natural tooth—with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.
What Are Implant Repairs?
Even though dental implants are designed to be permanent, occasional issues can occur with the restoration, abutment, or surrounding gum tissue. Our team offers implant repair services to restore both function and appearance—without replacing the entire implant.
- A loose or damaged crown, bridge, or denture
- Worn or broken abutments (the connector pieces between the implant and restoration)
- Chipped or cracked restorations
- Gum inflammation or discomfort around the implant site
- Wear and tear from years of use
Our Implant Repair Process
When you visit us for implant repair, we’ll begin with a thorough exam and digital imaging to identify the issue. Depending on what we find, treatment may include:
- Tightening or reattaching a loose restoration
- Replacing a worn abutment
- Repairing or replacing a damaged crown or bridge
- Treating gum irritation or infection around the implant site
Our goal is always to preserve as much of your original implant as possible while restoring comfort, stability, and appearance.
