Dental Implant Restoration at Dr Daniel Tebbi DMD, Encino implant Dentist

Dental implants offer a great way to improve your appearance, but using the right implant that offers the most benefit to your health is also a priority. Dr. Tebbi specializes in restoring dental implants. The restoration of an implant, also known as a crown dental implant, is the process of creating an artificial tooth and connecting it to the dental implant.

If upon initial placement of an implant, it becomes covered by a healing cap, or by the gum, a restorative procedure will need to be performed to expose the implant and attach an abutment.

The abutment is a metal cylinder that the artificial tooth is built onto. Abutments vary in length, width, angle and color to provide a large selection to match your natural teeth and to accomplish the final result of blending in and looking natural. Once the final restored implant is ready, a crown or bridge can be permanently cemented on top of the abundant. Over time, most implants will need to be repaired or modified through restoration.

Dr. Tebbi also specializes in the insertion of dental implants. In order for a dental implant to be inserted, the jaw bone needs to be dense enough. If there isn't enough bone, bone grafting can be done to allow for a good foundation for the dental implant. Dr. Tebbi will recommend the best material for bone grafting for your dental implanted tooth.

However, Dr. Tebbi does offer the use of Bicon Dental Implants, which have revolutionized dentistry since 1985. Bicon implants are shorter in length and use a locking taper not a screw. Bicon short implants are actually designed to eliminate the need for expensive bone grafting procedures. Since Bicon short implants do not use a screw design, there aren’t any odors or tastes with the Bicon system.
You should know that dental implants take some time from start to finish. You can expect the dental implant process to take at least 3 month. This includes the time the old tooth is extracted, healing, and the dental implanted tooth insertion.

The final outcome is a new, beautiful smile! Whether you need a dental implant or are restoring your dental implants, it is the solution to restoring the confidence in your smile. To find out if implant restoration is a good option for you, please contact our Encino office today.
