Implant Restoration: The Final Step to a Permanent Tooth
Dental implants are one of the most trusted ways to replace missing teeth - but the journey doesn't stop once the implant is placed. The final and most transformative phase is implant restoration: the step where your smile regains its full beauty and function.
At Modern Dental Center in Atlanta, Dr. Marianna Kovitch takes a personalized, conservative approach to implant restoration, ensuring that each restoration is as natural, functional, and comfortable as possible. Combining advanced dental technology with a soothing, patient-first environment, our team helps patients complete their implant journey with confidence and care.
What Is Implant Restoration?
Implant restoration is the final phase of the dental implant process, in which a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the dental implant post. This completes the tooth replacement and provides you with a long-term, stable solution that closely mimics the look and feel of a natural tooth.
Depending on your individual needs, Dr. Kovitch may recommend:
- Single-tooth crown - Ideal for replacing one missing tooth.
- Implant-supported bridge - Used when several teeth in a row are missing.
- Implant-retained dentures - For patients needing full-arch restoration with enhanced stability.
Dr. Kovitch designs every restoration to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth while maintaining bite alignment and promoting long-term oral health.
How Long After Implant Placement Can Restoration Begin?
The timing of your implant restoration depends on your body’s healing process. After the dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, a healing period of several months is typically needed to allow the implant to fuse with the bone (a process known as osseointegration).
Once healing is confirmed through CBCT or digital imaging, Dr. Kovitch carefully prepares for the final step. Thanks to Modern Dental Center’s in-house technology, the restoration process is both precise and efficient.
Timelines may vary, but most implant restorations are completed in:
- 3 to 6 months after implant surgery for lower jaw implants
- 4 to 9 months after implant surgery for upper jaw implants, which typically take longer to heal
