Dental Implant Restoration at The Smile Suite

What Is Dental Implant Restoration?

Dental implant restoration is a dental treatment that involves the placement of a replacement tooth root (implant) into the jawbone, which is then covered with a dental crown or other forms of tooth replacement to restore the appearance and function of a missing tooth.


The implant provides a robust and stable base for the restoration and helps to preserve the surrounding jawbone, preventing the common issues associated with missing teeth, such as jawbone shrinkage and facial collapse. The dental restoration is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of the patient's natural teeth.

Is Dental Implant Restoration Right for You?

The best dental implant restoration candidate typically has good oral and general health, a healthy jawbone structure to support the implant, and healthy gums. It's also essential for the candidate to have good oral hygiene habits and a commitment to maintaining them after the procedure.


However, specific medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, certain heart diseases, and some forms of cancer, may impact the procedure's success and should be discussed with the dentist. In such cases, the dentist may require a clearance from the patient's physician before proceeding with the treatment.


It's important to consult your dentist to see if dental implant restoration is the right option for you. The dentist will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your options to help you make an informed decision.

What Are The Benefits of Dental Implant Restoration?

Implant restoration has provided solutions for many people who are plagued by missing teeth and prefer not to wear dentures. After investigating the process and the benefits associated with dental implant restoration, many choose to undergo this implant restoration process. When they discover the many benefits of implant restoration and the options available, many decide to invest in this permanent solution. There are many benefits of dental implant restoration over alternative options, which are as follows:

  • 1. IT PRESERVES YOUR NATURAL SMILE

    Your natural smile is one of a kind; your teeth are so unique that no two smiles are alike. A dental implant restoration helps to maintain your unique set of teeth and preserve your natural smile for many years to come. The restoration also helps prevent issues with surrounding teeth shifting due to the gap from missing teeth.

  • 2. IT PREVENTS FURTHER DAMAGE

    A dental implant restoration is essential for preventing further damage or decay around the implanted tooth. It's crucial that you properly care for your oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, or using a water flosser regularly. Also, attending checkups with your dentist to ensure that there won't be any additional damage around the implant area is advised.

  • 3. IT RESTORES ORAL FUNCTION

    A properly restored dental implant will help restore full oral function and improve the ability to chew food without difficulty or pain. Without an appropriate restoration, you may struggle to eat certain foods due to discomfort or an inability to chew them properly. With proper restoration, however, you'll enjoy all kinds of foods without worrying about pain or difficulty chewing them up.

  • 4. IT BOOSTS YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE

    Your smile is essential to how confident you feel when speaking with others, whether at work or in social settings. A restored dental implant will help boost self-confidence by making sure your smile looks perfect and will give you back the confidence that comes from having a fully functioning mouth and a beautiful set of teeth.

  • 5. IT IMPROVES SPEECH QUALITY

    Restoring your implants can also help improve speech quality by ensuring that gaps between missing teeth are filled correctly with restorative materials such as bridges or dentures. This will minimize any potential lisping caused by gaps between missing teeth and ensure that all words are pronounced clearly during conversations.

How Does Implant Restoration Work?

The dental implant procedure is a three-step process. Patients are sedated as needed for maximum comfort in any restorative dentistry treatment.

  • 1. PAIN MANAGEMENT

    You may experience some discomfort and swelling after the procedure, but over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription medication can help manage any pain.

  • 2. ORAL HYGIENE

    Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to avoid infection and promote healing. Brush and floss regularly, and use an antiseptic rinse if recommended by your dentist.

  • 3. SOFT DIET

     Avoid hard or crunchy foods after the procedure to avoid putting pressure on the implant site. Stick to soft foods like mashed potatoes, soup, and eggs.

  • 4. AVOID SMOKING

    Smoking can delay healing and increase the risk of complications. If you smoke, it is recommended to quit or at least avoid smoking for a few weeks after the procedure.

  • 5. FOLLOW-UP VISITS

    Regular follow-up visits with your dentist are essential to monitor the healing process and ensure the implant is functioning correctly.

  • 6. AVOID EXTREME TEMPERATURE

     Avoid extremely hot or cold temperatures (e.g., hot drinks, cold foods) as they may cause discomfort or sensitivity near the implant site.

It's important to remember that every patient is different, and the specific aftercare instructions may vary based on the individual. Follow your doctor's instructions and address any concerns or questions with them as soon as possible.
