Implant Restoration Edmonds, WA

3D rendering of a dental implant next to healthy teeth at Edmonds Dental Studio in Edmonds WashingtonDental implants have revolutionized the field of prosthodontics! If you are in need of a tooth replacement, an implant restoration is usually the ideal solution. Thanks to advancements in technology and techniques, implants can be used to support a single crown, a partial bridge, or even a full-arch restoration. At Edmonds Dental Studio, Dr. Hasan Dbouk specializes in implant restorations because we want our patients to have the best possible care.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a tiny titanium screw that we surgically embed into the jawbone. Once an implant is in place, the screw will slowly fuse to your bone through the process of osseointegration. Osseointegration is largely responsible for the success of implant treatment, and many of its benefits. Once osseointegration is complete, we attach an abutment to the top of the implant screw. An abutment is an additional support structure that links the implant screw to a restoration. The placement of an abutment usually requires a second surgery. In some cases, we may be able to place the abutment at the same time as the implant screw. After the abutment is in place, we must take an impression of the area. The impression is used to produce a 3D model of your mouth. This model allows us to produce a precise, comfortable, and effective restoration.

Types of Implant-Supported Restorations

The number of missing teeth, the health of your jawbone, and the location of the restoration will dictate the type of implant restoration you receive. During your initial consultation, Dr. Hasan Dbouk will be able to determine which restoration is right for you. The three major types of implant restorations include:•  Single Crown: An implant-supported crown is an excellent alternative to a partial denture or traditional bridge. •  Fixed Partial bridge: A fixed partial bridge can be used to replace multiple missing teeth adjacent to one another. In most cases, we place an implant for each missing tooth. However, it is also possible to suspend a pontic (false tooth) between two screws. •  Full-Arch Restoration: If you are missing all or most of your teeth, we typically recommend a full-arch restoration. Implant-supported full-arch restorations include overdentures, complete fixed bridges, All-on-4® Treatment Concept, and the Trefoil treatment concept.

Benefits of Implant Restorations

Implant-supported restorations have several benefits over more traditional options. Some of these benefits include:•  Durability: Implant-supported restorations are perhaps the most durable replacement option available. With the proper care and maintenance, your implant could even last a lifetime. •  Convenience: An implant-supported restoration can be treated like your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and professional checkups. Other appliances may require special cleaning techniques. •  Aesthetics: We use the finest restorative materials available today, making your restoration virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. •  Comfort: Because the implant screw becomes a part of your bone structure, your restoration will not cause any discomfort or irritation to your gums. •  Long-term Oral Health: Implant restorations do not affect your surrounding teeth. The implant screw also provides physical stimulation that prevents jawbone deterioration. •  Success Rate: Implant procedures have a success rate of 95 to 98 percent. As long as you qualify for treatment and follow our guidelines, your surgery should be a success!

The Restorative Phase

Crafting, Repairing & Caring for Your Restoration

Implant restoration is the prosthetic side of implant treatment — the stage that attaches a custom crown, bridge, or denture onto an implant that has already integrated with the jawbone. Beyond the type of restoration you receive, a few details shape how natural it looks, how easily it can be serviced, and how long it lasts.

Custom-Crafted Materials

Final restorations are made from tooth-colored ceramics such as zirconia and lithium-disilicate (e.max) or porcelain-fused-to-metal, then shade-matched to your neighboring teeth for a seamless result.

Repairable & Replaceable

The implant post is meant to stay put while the restoration on top can be repaired or replaced if it chips, wears, or loosens over the years — without disturbing the integrated implant beneath it.

Screw- or Cement-Retained

Restorations are secured either by a small screw or with dental cement onto the abutment. Screw-retained options can often be unthreaded and serviced, which supports easier long-term maintenance.

Everyday Care Matters

Brushing, cleaning around the restoration with floss or an interdental brush, and routine checkups help guard against peri-implant inflammation and keep the supporting gum and bone healthy.

Common Questions

Implant Restoration FAQ

An implant restoration is the visible, tooth-replacing part of implant treatment — the custom crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to an implant post already integrated in the jawbone. It differs from placing the implant itself: the restorative phase connects an abutment to the healed implant and then secures a lab-made prosthesis on top to complete how the tooth looks and functions.

Once the implant has fused with the bone, the restorative phase itself is usually completed over a small number of visits across a few weeks. An abutment is attached, an impression or digital scan is taken, and a dental laboratory fabricates the final crown, bridge, or denture before it is fitted and adjusted. The exact timeline depends on the type of restoration and whether a temporary is worn first.

Yes. The implant post is designed to stay in place while the restoration on top can be repaired or replaced if it chips, wears, or loosens over years of use. Screw-retained restorations in particular can often be unthreaded, serviced, and re-secured without disturbing the underlying implant. A dental exam determines whether repair or a new restoration is the better option.

Care for a restored implant much like a natural tooth: brush twice daily, clean around and beneath the restoration with floss or an interdental brush, and keep regular professional checkups. Good hygiene helps prevent peri-implant inflammation and peri-implantitis, which can affect the gum and bone supporting the implant. Results depend on individual factors such as gum health and habits like smoking.

Common materials include all-ceramic options such as zirconia and lithium-disilicate (e.max), as well as porcelain-fused-to-metal. The choice is guided by the location in the mouth, bite forces, and appearance, and shades are matched to your surrounding teeth.
