As you learn about your options with dental implants, you will find out all about restorations. What are these? Well, this is the term that we use in reference to the particular type of prosthetic supported by your implant (or implants) to replace the crowns of your teeth. Did you know that you may replace one tooth at a time or multiple teeth? Find out more about restorations, so you have a better grasp on the ways implants may help your smile.

Single Implants

Let’s say you would like to replace one tooth. Or, that you would like to fully replace each individual tooth that you are missing. In this instance, you will require single implants restored with dental crowns. One dental implant per opening and one crown per implant. This is going to get you as close as possible to replacing your teeth as they once were.

Implant Partials

Are you missing multiple teeth? If so, recognize that you do not need to replace each tooth with a single implant and crown. Instead, you may choose to combine the efficiency of a partial denture, which replaces multiple teeth at once, while enjoying the support of dental implants.

Implant Dentures

Now, when it’s not multiple teeth but a complete arch of teeth, you may still, of course, choose single implants. However, this often requires a great amount of surgery, recovery, and a large investment. For patients seeking an option to replace every tooth with a successful, expedient process, we may suggest implant dentures. Dental implants in particular sockets (but not every one) will offer stable support to a complete denture for complete smile replacement.
