Implant Restorations in Lancaster: Putting the Bite Back in Your Smile
At Hempfield Dental Care, implant restorations in Lancaster come with precision, skill, and a personal touch. Dr. Alessio Scott and Dr. Kyle Durante use their combined expertise to restore dental implants with lifelike crowns, bridges, and dentures. Whether you recently received an implant or need to upgrade an older restoration, the team customizes each solution for appearance, function, and longevity.
The dentist doesn’t just match a tooth to an implant. They study your bite, facial structure, and oral health to ensure the final result feels natural and performs like your teeth. These restorations do more than complete a smile. They rebuild confidence, help patients chew better, and preserve jawbone strength. Our doctors treat implant restorations as both an art and a science.
What’s in a Tooth? A Lot More Than You Think
A dental implant acts like the root of a natural tooth. But to complete it, the dentist must attach a crown, bridge, or denture that looks and feels real. The team at Hempfield Dental Care uses strong, beautiful materials to deliver restorations that do more than fill space.
Types of Implant Restorations We Provide
Each type of dental implant restoration depends on the number of teeth you need to replace, the placement of your dental implants, and your oral health goals. After a full exam and discussion, the doctor will recommend the best option.
- Single-Tooth Implant Crown: When a patient needs to replace one missing tooth, the dentist attaches a crown to the implant. These crowns match your natural enamel in shape, size, and color.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: If you’re missing several teeth in a row, your doctor may recommend a bridge anchored by implants. This type of bridge offers more stability than traditional bridges and doesn’t rely on neighboring teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: The dentist places several implants to hold a denture in place for patients who need full arch replacement. These dentures snap in and out or stay permanently attached.
- Custom Abutment Adjustments: When a prefabricated abutment doesn’t provide the right fit, the dentist creates a custom one to optimize the position and appearance of your restoration.
From Implant to Smile: What the Process Looks Like
Dr. Scott or Dr. Durante begins with a detailed consultation and exam. Each dentist takes time to review your dental history, assess your current implants, and understand your goals. Whether you need a new restoration or an upgrade, the process stays personalized every step of the way.
Here’s how our team restores dental implants:
- Comprehensive Evaluation
- The dentist checks the condition of your implant and the surrounding gum tissue.
- They review digital scans or X-rays and ask questions about your comfort and bite.
- You receive honest feedback and a clear path forward.
- Restoration Design
- The dentist takes digital or physical impressions to design your crown, bridge, or denture.
- Our team chooses materials that suit your smile, such as porcelain, zirconia, or acrylic.
- The goal is always a natural look and strong function.
- Attachment and Adjustment
- The dentist attaches the lab to the implant once the lab completes your restoration.
- The doctor tests your bite, makes small adjustments, and ensures you feel comfortable.
- You leave the office with a fully restored smile.
- Follow-Up and Maintenance
- The team offers guidance on how to clean and care for your restoration.
- Routine checkups let us make small tweaks and ensure long-term success.
