If you have a missing tooth, you might consider getting an implant to replace it. The false tooth will prevent your teeth from shifting over time, reduce discomfort while chewing and biting, and increase your confidence. However, we recommend becoming educated about the upcoming implant before going in for the procedure, so you can feel completely confident in the work that will be done.

Three Things You Need to Know about Implant Restoration

At Georgian Shores Dental Centre, we offer implant restoration at our Midland office. Here are three things that you should know about this procedure to help get you started.

  1. Know the parts of an implant: When you have an implant, you have two parts: the dental implant and the implant restoration. The dental implant is what goes underneath your gums to hold the false tooth in place, while the implant restoration is the false tooth that will be connected to the post secured in the implant.
  1. Know you’re in good hands during the procedure: Any dental procedure can make you nervous, but it’s important to know that for your implant restoration procedure or any other dental services we provide, you are in good hands. We will handle each step with great care and even take the time to explain the steps of the process to you to help you feel more confident and comfortable.
  1. Know how to care for your implants: While your new implant restoration is designed to look, feel, and function like a real tooth, you still want to be gentle around the implant to avoid scratching or damaging it. You’ll want to switch to a soft toothbrush and avoid sticky or hard foods like caramel or hard candies. You’ll also want to continue visiting the dentist regularly after the procedure to keep the rest of your smile healthy and beautiful.
