Dental Implant Restoration In Gainesville, FL

Functional, Natural-Looking Tooth Restoration

Your smile is your first impression on the world. Before you even talk to a person, your smile is the first thing perceived. It communicates your friendliness, your warmth, and your great personality!

Unfortunately, patients who have one or multiple missing teeth may experience decreased self-confidence regarding their appearance. Their missing teeth can sometimes make it difficult for them to speak, eat, or approach others.

A dental implant restoration is a long-term solution for patients who are missing one or more of their natural teeth. An oral surgeon will carefully insert the dental implant at the site of the missing or extracted tooth. During a process known as osseointegration, the dental implant is firmly fused with the bone. A healing cap (or abutment) serves to protect the gum tissue as it heals.

Once healed, an artificial tooth or a dental crown is placed over the implant. This crown is specially designed to mimic the appearance of a natural tooth. As such, the precise placement of an artificial tooth can improve speech, restore chewing ability, prevent teeth shifting, and boost self-confidence.
