Restorative Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. An implant has 2 parts:

• a metal anchor and a false tooth, similar to a crown.
• A dental implant looks and feels like a natural tooth.

 

Tips for taking care of your restorative dentistry work 

• Brush your teeth thoroughly three times a day.
• Electric toothbrushes can help remove plaque from your teeth and restorative work.
• Make sure to floss around your teeth, dental implants, crowns, and bridges every day.
• Try not to chew on hard or sticky foods. These can damage your implant, bridge, or crown.
• Use an antibacterial mouthwash to help fight plaque bacteria around restorative work.
