It’s about time you got back to eating your favorite foods and smiling with confidence. Have a missing tooth? Oasis Dental offers top-notch implant restoration services to help you get your smile back on track.
A dental implant restoration is a the final step of the dental implant process. Dental implants are small, screw-shaped posts made from biocompatible titanium that are placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. The implant acts as the artificial root for your new tooth.
Once the implant bonds with your bone, the restoration — a custom-made crown in many cases — is attached, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth. The result is a strong, stable, natural-looking tooth that looks and functions like your real ones.
Implant restorations don't affect neighboring teeth. Unlike other tooth replacement options like bridges, dental implants don't require reshaping or altering the adjacent teeth, preserving their natural structure.

Dental implants function and feel like natural teeth. This allows you to chew, speak, and smile confidently without discomfort or inconvenience.
Implant restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural teeth, creating a pleasant smile that enhances facial aesthetics.
With proper care and maintenance, implant restorations can last for decades, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.
During the initial visit, Dr. Paul Ferraro will evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine if you are suitable for dental implants.
Once you’ve been determined as a good candidate for a dental implant, Dr. Ferraro will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan considers the number of missing teeth, the condition of your jawbone, and your specific needs.
The next step involves the surgical placement of the dental implant into the jawbone. Dr. Ferraro works with a network of specialists who are experts at placing implants and performing any preparatory surgeries that may be necessary. This is typically performed under local anesthesia and sedation to ensure your comfort.
After implant placement surgery, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to fuse with the surrounding bone through osseointegration. This ensures a strong and stable foundation for the restoration.
Once the implant fully integrates with the jawbone, a small connector called an abutment is attached. The abutment acts as a support for the custom crown or prosthesis.
The final step involves securing a custom crown or other prosthesis, (such as an implant-supported bridge, a removable implant retained denture, or a fixed full-arch replacement) to the abutment(s). This restoration is designed to match the color, shape, and size of the surrounding natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth, so the implants themselves can last a lifetime. However, the restoration will eventually need to be replaced. Most restorations can last for 10-20 years or even longer with proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
Implant placement is typically performed under local anesthesia and sedation, ensuring that patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. After the surgery, some mild soreness and swelling may be expected, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. The restoration process will also be performed under local anesthesia, but is a far less invasive procedure than the placement itself. Our experienced Mission Viejo dentist and his team prioritize patient comfort and will provide detailed instructions for post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.
