Dental Implant Restoration

A Permanent Solution for Your Missing Teeth

When you need a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, you need more than just a competent oral surgeon or periodontist to place the implant post. You also need a dentist who knows how to restore the implant post, placing the crown on the titanium abutment and restoring your smile to health.

First, you will meet with Dr. Dickey to make sure you are a candidate for an implant. If so, he will collaborate on your treatment plan with the doctor who places your implant post, and then you will return to him for implant restoration. Dr. Dickey has years of experience in dental implant restoration, whether for a single implant, a bridge, or even to secure a partial or denture. You’ll leave our office feeling confident once again.

  • Collaborative approach with specialists
  • Highest quality materials
  • Skilled in a range of implant options
  • High focus on an aesthetic restoration

What Are Dental Implants?

Request An Appointment

Dental implants are a permanent solution to replace your missing teeth. They consist of three main components: a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, an abutment that connects the post to the crown, and a custom-made crown that mimics the appearance and function of a natural tooth. Implants can be used to secure a denture or bridge as well as a single missing tooth, enhancing function and protecting the long-term health of your jaw. Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including improved oral health, enhanced appearance, and restored chewing function, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a long-lasting, natural-looking tooth replacement.

How Does Dental Implant Restoration Work?

Dr. Dickey will instruct your implant specialist on where he wants the implant placed and how it will be restored. The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone by the specialist, where it fuses with your bone over time, providing a foundation for the crown. After the post is placed and the area has healed, the actual implant will be restored.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Permanent and Durable Solution: Dental implants are designed to last with proper care, offering a stable and long-lasting replacement for your missing teeth.
  • Natural Appearance and Function: Implants closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, allowing for a seamless blend with existing teeth and restoring full chewing and speaking capabilities.
  • Preservation of Jawbone Health: When you are missing a tooth, your jawbone gradually shrinks and becomes less stable in that location, causing your bite to change. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure over time.

I wear a partial. Dr Dickey is coming in on his day off to deliver my new partial! That's personal care. Love how safe and free from pain I feel at Total Dental Care. I know I am not going to be hurt. I had fun with Dr Dickey during my crown preparation. We listened to music. Doc sang and danced to 80s alternative music to make me feel more comfortable! (I'm not afraid to go to the dentist anymore!) I almost look forward to visiting the dentist because of Dr Dickey and his fabulous, fun staff!!

Two visits. They fixed a crown issue I had that my long time DDS could not. Switch to them and then had a teeth cleaning. Great staff. Great experience.
