Dental Implant Restorations
If you’re missing a tooth or have an implant that needs repair, dental implant restorations can help you regain a full, healthy smile. At Pathway Dental Group, with locations in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc, CA, we specialize in implant restorations to ensure that your dental implants look and function like natural teeth.
What Are Dental Implant Restorations?
Dental implant restorations refer to the process of replacing or repairing a dental implant, including the crown, bridge or denture that attaches to the implant post. These restorations are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring your ability to chew, speak and smile confidently.
Why Are Implant Restorations Necessary?
There are several reasons why you may need an implant restoration, including:
- Wear and Tear – Over time, implant crowns or bridges may become worn down or damaged.
- Chipping or Cracking – Just like natural teeth, implant-supported crowns can suffer from chips or cracks.
- Loose or Broken Restorations – If your implant-supported prosthetic feels loose or detaches, a restoration is necessary.
- Upgrading Older Restorations – If your current implant restoration no longer matches your teeth or feels uncomfortable, a replacement may be needed.
The Dental Implant Restoration Process
At Pathway Dental Group, we take a personalized approach to dental implant restorations to ensure the best results. The process typically includes:
- Evaluation & Consultation – Our experienced dentists will examine your implant, take digital X-rays and assess any damage to determine the best course of action.
- Custom Restoration Design – If a new restoration is needed, we take precise digital scans and work with top-tier labs to craft a crown, bridge or denture that matches your natural teeth.
- Restoration Placement – Once your custom restoration is ready, we securely attach it to your implant post, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
- Follow-Up Care – We provide guidance on maintaining your restored implant, ensuring its longevity and function.
