Implant-Supported Crowns and Bridges
Perfect your smile
After one or more dental implants have been placed, a restoration is usually used to cover them, replacing the missing parts of the teeth. With an implant crown or implant-supported dentures, it is possible to regain an aesthetically pleasing and functional smile. Dentalis in downtown Montreal and Côte-des-Neiges ensures a comfortable and satisfying experience throughout the entire process, providing you with implant restorations customized to your needs and goals.
What is implant restoration?
Restoration not only improves the aesthetics of your smile, but also restores the full functionality of your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak normally. To achieve these goals, you must first go through the implantation process, including surgery and the implant healing period. Once the dental implants are firmly integrated into the jawbone, they can be topped with a dental restoration.
What types of restorations are available?
Designed to ensure the best results for our patients, the restoration process is carefully guided by your dentist. After successful osseointegration of the implant, an evaluation is performed to determine the appropriate type of restoration.
An implant-supported crown is a restoration designed to replace a single missing tooth in the dentition. The implant then serves as an artificial root for the dental crown, which represents a prosthetic tooth. Several crowns can also be installed on implants if a limited number of isolated teeth are missing from the dentition. The presence of the implant gives the crown great strength, effectively replacing the missing tooth.
It is also possible to use a dental bridge on implants. The dental bridge is designed to replace an adjacent section of the dentition that is missing, i.e., 3 to 4 teeth. It is then necessary to install 2 implants, which will effectively support the bridge. The presence of implants ensures the strength and stability of this type of restoration, while promoting jaw health.
What are the advantages of implant restoration?
There are several benefits to using implantology to support dental restorations, such as crowns or dental bridges.
Durability of the implant: A dental implant can remain in place within the jawbone for several decades, effectively supporting the dental restoration.
Increased stability: The implant provides excellent stability to the replacement tooth or teeth, perfectly mimicking natural teeth, especially when chewing food.
Natural aesthetics: Implant restorations are custom-designed according to each individual's specific needs. This allows them to blend naturally with the rest of the teeth.
Comfort: The strength and stability of the restoration increase its comfort once it is in place in the patient's mouth.
Bone health: The presence of implants, as artificial tooth roots, prevents bone loss in the jaw, which is inevitable when missing teeth are not replaced.
