Dental Implant Restoration

Researchers estimate that more than 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth, which can erode your confidence and affect your oral health. Dental implants provide a beautiful, stable long-term solution for missing teeth. At Dorfner Dental Studio, we offer dental implant restorations in Burlington Township NJ, that can transform your smile and improve your oral health.

What is Dental Implant Restoration?

A dental implant replaces one or multiple teeth with titanium posts that are placed in the jaw, by a surgeon. Once the implant post integrates with your natural bone structure, Dr. Dorfner performs the implant restoration using prosthetics such as implant crowns, snap-on dentures, or fixed bridges. The type of dental implant restoration that works best for you depends on your specific needs and goals.

Benefits of Dental Implant Restoration

Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They can also improve your oral health by reducing the risk of potentially serious complications like bone loss and gum recession. Other benefits of implant restorations include:

Aesthetics — Dental implants blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, providing a natural-looking, beautiful smile.

Enhanced functionality – Implants and implant dentures improve the functionality of your teeth. This means you’ll be able to bite, chew, and speak with comfort and confidence.

A long-term tooth replacement solution – Dental implants are strong, long-lasting replacements for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, implant restorations can last a lifetime.

Bone preservation — When a tooth is missing, the underlying jawbone begins to shrink over time. Dental implants help stimulate and preserve the jawbone, which prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure.

Preserve the health of adjacent teeth – Unlike traditional crowns or bridges, adjacent teeth don’t need to be altered or compromised to support dental implant restorations. Preserving the natural structure of neighboring teeth enhances your overall oral health and helps keep your bite stable.

Comfort and convenience – Traditional dentures often require messy adhesives and can shift when eating or speaking. Because implant dentures are attached, they don’t move around or require any adhesive.

Improved self-esteem – Being proud to show off your smile can enhance your quality of life and give your confidence a boost.

The Dental Implant Restoration Process

At Dorfner Dental Studio, dental implant restorations take at least three appointments over several months. Although the process of restoring dental implants takes more time than traditional procedures like bridges or crowns, it offers longer-lasting results.

What to Expect:

At your first visit, Dr. Dorfner performs an oral exam, takes X-rays, and discusses your aesthetic and oral health goals with you. If you have healthy gums and enough bone to support implants, Dr. Dorfner will refer you to a highly qualified oral surgeon or periodontist. After the implant is placed by a specialist, it takes several months to heal and fully integrate with the jawbone. In some cases, inadequate bone can be augmented with bone grafting so an implant can be placed and restored.

When the implants finish integrating with your jawbone, you return to Dorfner Dental Studio. We’ll take digital impressions of your mouth and send them to a dental laboratory. Technicians at the laboratory use these impressions to design and create your custom-made implant restorations.

When they come back from the lab, Dr. Dorfner connects the implant restorations onto the posts and polishes your teeth. Typically, this process is virtually painless and doesn’t require any anesthesia.

Caring for Dental Implant Restorations

To properly care for your dental implants, Dr. Dorfner recommends:

  • Brushing your teeth twice daily
  • Daily flossing
  • Visiting our Burlington, NJ dental office every six months for checkups and cleanings
  • Avoiding habits that can damage your implant restorations, like chewing ice cubes or biting your nails
  • Wearing a mouthguard if you play sports

If you opt for removable implant dentures, you can gently brush them with lukewarm water and non-abrasive toothpaste daily. They can also be soaked in denture cleaning solution. Dr. Dorfner and our knowledgeable staff are happy to answer any questions you may have about caring for your implant restorations.
