At Richard S. Durando, DDS, we understand the importance of a complete and healthy smile. Dental implants are a remarkable solution for replacing missing teeth, and our restoration services ensure they look and function just like natural teeth. We are dedicated to providing top-notch care and personalized treatment plans to help you achieve a beautiful, confident smile.
What to Expect with Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implant restorations involve a multi-step process designed to create a seamless and durable replacement for your missing tooth. Initially, the implant, a small titanium post, is surgically placed into your jawbone. This post serves as a sturdy foundation for the replacement tooth. After the implant has fully integrated with the bone, which usually takes a few months, the restoration phase begins.
Our team takes great care in crafting custom restorations that match the shape, size and color of your natural teeth. Whether you need a single crown, a bridge or even a full arch restoration, we utilize advanced materials and techniques to ensure your new teeth blend perfectly with your existing smile.
The Benefits of Dental Implant Restorations
Choosing dental implants offers numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options. Implants provide a stable and secure fit, preventing the common issues associated with dentures, such as slipping or clicking. They also help preserve your jawbone and facial structure, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. Unlike bridges, which may need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years, implants offer a more permanent solution, giving you peace of mind and a lasting smile.

We prioritize your comfort and satisfaction throughout the entire dental implant restoration process. We understand that dental procedures can be intimidating, and we are here to answer all your questions and address any concerns you may have.
