Recently one of our doctors was asked why it is necessary to have a temporary crown made for an implant? This is a good question. The reason a temporary is necessary, especially with a front tooth, is the role the implant temporary plays in healing. When an implant temporary is placed it helps guide the gum tissue to grow around the implant in a natural way. It also provides a foundation to support the gum so it doesn’t collapse and loose its shape. Without a temporary a space can develop around the implant tooth leaving a gap between the teeth making the tooth look unnatural. Our goal is to provide the most natural restoration possible.

Why do I need a Temporary Crown for my Implant
Friday, December 4th, 2009The placement of an Implant Crown
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Today in our office we completed the placement of an implant crown on a patient with a missing front tooth. This patient had the misfortune of fracturing his front tooth. Working with our team of highly skilled surgeons the tooth was removed and a dental implant placed. Special training and techniques are needed to make the implant tooth and more importantly the gum around it look real. We work with nationally recognized specialists who have the necessary surgical training to properly place the implant and cultivate the correct environment for success. The surgical expertise is equally important for a beautiful successful outcome. Once healing was complete a provisional implant crown was created using specialized techniques to guide the gum tissue to grow and look natural around the implant. The final all ceramic zirconium crown was fabricated by a master ceramist and cemented in place. The result was a beautiful lifelike match to his other front teeth.

Dental Implant Restorations
Monday, April 6th, 2009Dental Implant Restorations. Treatment with dental implants to replace missing teeth has become routine in today’s dental practice. Restoration of missing teeth with implants has a very high success rate compared to other more common dental procedures. When considering restoration of a severely decayed or broken tooth, placement of an implant restoration may be a more predictable long term solution. Today we placed the final implant restoration on a patient from Jupiter. She was amazed at how simple the appointment was and pleased with her decision to restore her mouth to health with this option.
