At Great Basin Dental, we specialize in restoring dental implants for our Reno patients who are missing one or more teeth. While we don’t perform the surgical placement of implants, we provide the essential final step: restoring the implant with a crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile. If you’ve lost a tooth or multiple teeth, implant restorations can give you a natural-looking, long-lasting solution.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant heals and fuses with the bone, it becomes a strong, stable foundation for a dental restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. At Great Basin Dental, we focus on this restoration process, creating custom solutions that match your natural teeth and restore both the appearance and function of your smile.
Why Restore Missing Teeth?
Losing a tooth can affect more than just the way you look. Missing teeth can lead to a number of problems, including difficulty eating, changes in speech, and even bone loss in the jaw. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone can begin to shrink over time, which can affect your overall oral health and change the shape of your face.
Restoring missing teeth with dental implants helps prevent these issues. Implants provide a stable foundation that keeps the jawbone strong and allows you to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several, dental implants are one of the most effective ways to restore your smile.
How We Restore Dental Implants
At Great Basin Dental, we create custom restorations that fit securely onto dental implants. If you’ve had the implant post placed by an oral surgeon, we’ll take over the next step: designing a restoration that looks and feels natural.
-
Single Tooth Replacement: For patients missing just one tooth, we can restore your smile with an implant-supported crown. The crown blends in with your surrounding teeth and is attached securely to the implant.
-
Multiple Tooth Replacement: If you’re missing several teeth, an implant-supported bridge can replace them without the need to affect your healthy, natural teeth. The bridge is supported by two or more implants, providing a strong and stable solution for multiple missing teeth.
-
Full Arch Replacement: For patients missing all of their teeth, we offer implant-supported dentures. These dentures anchor to several implants, giving you a more secure and comfortable fit compared to traditional dentures. With implant-supported dentures, you won’t have to worry about slipping or discomfort.
Benefits of Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implant restorations offer many advantages over other tooth replacement options. Because they are supported by implants that fuse with the bone, they are incredibly stable and long-lasting. Unlike traditional dentures, which can shift or become loose, implant-supported restorations stay firmly in place. This should give you more confidence when eating and speaking.
Implant restorations also help maintain the health of your jawbone. By replacing the tooth root with an implant, we can prevent bone loss and preserve the natural structure of your face. Additionally, implant restorations look and feel like natural teeth. This makes them a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing choice.
