Your smile is our center focus: FAQs about implant restorations to rebuild teeth

Chris and Robin Post, we look forward to brightening your day by transforming your smile with state-of-the-art dental implant restorations.
What are dental implants?
Implants are cylindrical-shaped posts made from tissue-compatible materials, such as titanium. They are introduced to the jawbone during a surgical procedure. The implant is designed to grow naturally with the surrounding bony tissue in the jaw. Once this healing process is completed, the implant functions like a tooth root to stabilize the restoration or replacement tooth.
How do you restore implants?
A single implant may be restored with one replacement tooth or crown. This option may be appropriate for patients with one missing or failing tooth that cannot be “saved” with other restorative dentistry procedures. More implants may be placed to support additional restorations or replacement teeth.
Are implants a suitable option for individuals with multiple missing teeth?
Yes! More implants may be used to restore several artificial teeth. The implants are attached to either a dental bridge or a denture.
Why are implant restorations so popular?
There are several reasons so many people want and are highly satisfied with their implant-supported teeth! These benefits stem from their unique design. No other types of tooth replacement are available today to replace the root. Since implant restorations account for this important structural component of the teeth, this option is renowned for its durability and stability. Due to a unique design that mimics natural tooth structure, your new teeth look and feel natural. They also function naturally and optimally. Your best chewing and speech function is restored.
How long do implants last?
They can last for the rest of your life! Of course, it is essential to keep the implant clean. Implants are vulnerable to inflammation that breaks down the soft and hard tissues around them. This destructive process can be avoided with good oral hygiene – at home and courtesy of our professionals in Lincoln, NE. Additionally, services to adjust and replace dentures, such as relining and rebasing, are avoided. The fit of the implant denture is retained because implants help to keep the bone in the jaw strong. Since the bone doesn’t shrink, the denture conforms well to the surrounding tissues.
