What are Dental Implants?
What Goes on Top of Dental Implants?
A single dental crown can be placed on top of a single dental implant to copy the appearance of your natural tooth. It is the most comfortable tooth replacement therapy.
When a patient misses two or multiple teeth, a dental bridge, full arch zirconia teeth, or fixed hybrid dentures can be placed on top of multiple implants. This is the most comfortable, functional, and esthetic tooth replacement therapy. Patients who have difficulty wearing removable partial or full dentures will seek this solution so they can have fixed teeth to chew
Benefits of Implants and Restorative Dentistry
Dental implant restorations offer many benefits:
- Natural function. A dental implant functions like a natural tooth, providing the same bite strength and chewing force as a healthy tooth.
- Natural appearance. A dental implant provides the most natural-looking replacement for one or more missing teeth.
- Preserve bone structure. Because a dental implant fuses with the jaw bone, it preserves the bone strength and structure that would otherwise weaken and dissolve in the absence of a tooth.
- Protect your existing teeth. A dental implant exists completely independent of your other teeth, meaning it won’t damage your healthy teeth in any way. It will even help your existing teeth stay in proper alignment.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you have one or more missing or severely damaged teeth, you may be a candidate for dental implants. It is necessary to have enough bone structure in the jaw to support an implant, otherwise, a bone graft procedure may need to be performed first. A bone graft procedure involves placing a bone fragment under the gum tissue on top of the existing bone to encourage the regeneration of the bone tissue. Once this process is complete, you will be ready to receive one or more dental implants.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last?
Do I still need a regular dental cleaning with dental implants?
Yes, regular dental cleaning will eliminate debris, calculus, and plaque accumulated in the mouth. It will prevent one from getting peri-implantitis (infection in the implants). It is important to keep up your regular cleaning schedule as directed by your dentist.
