Dental Implant Restorations Fayetteville

Fill Gaps Permanently with Dental Implants

Gaps between the teeth can be both an aesthetic and functional detriment to a smile. Individuals who are missing one or more teeth may experience difficulty chewing or speaking. Gaps can also cause the surrounding teeth to shift around in the mouth, create pockets where bacteria can easily accumulate, or increase the chances of bone loss or deterioration. In general, it’s best to replace missing teeth with an advanced option such as dental implants. Dr. Dave C. Lee offers dental implant restorations at his Fayetteville office; if you would like to learn more about this restorative dentistry service, please contact us today.

About Dental Implants

A permanent tooth replacement option, dental implants are synthetic tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone, where they integrate and are topped with an artificial tooth. Placing dental implants is a multi-faceted process that is completed over the span of several months; however the results are worthwhile because dental implants are stable and comfortable. Implants can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth by supporting a bridge or set of dentures.

Restoring Dental Implants

Dr. Lee is trained and experienced with restoring dental implants after they have been placed. It takes the skill of a trained and experienced cosmetic and restorative dentist to restore implants so they fit, feel, and function as well as natural teeth.

After the dental implant has integrated with the bone, Dr. Lee tops the implant post with an artificial tooth. To do this, he screws an abutment onto the top of the implant post. The artificial tooth then attaches to the abutment, where it sits above the gums and blends in with the surrounding teeth.

If you have questions about dental implant restorations, Fayetteville dentist Dave Lee would be happy to answer them during a private consultation. Contact our office to speak to a member of our staff about setting up an appointment.

What Are Mini Dental Implants?

A mini dental implant is a small version of the conventional dental implant. It can be a wonderful procedure for patients who do not have very much jawbone because teeth have been missing for many years.  The surgery is less complicated and often more affordable. Since implant-supported restorations can be anchored, they do not shift, cause gum problems, or cause the surrounding teeth to become misaligned. These implants can be ideal for giving stability to loose dentures.
