At Orlando Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer restorative dentistry and implant restoration solutions like single tooth replacement, implant-supported bridges, and overdentures to replace one, several, or all of your missing teeth. These treatments can help you reclaim a radiant smile with a complete set of natural-looking and natural-feeling teeth.
Replace one, several, or
all of your missing teeth
Implant restorations in Orlando are advanced dental treatments used to replace missing teeth. An implant restoration involves surgically placing an implant into the jawbone, which acts as a stable foundation for various prosthetics, such as single crowns, bridges, or overdentures. This ensures a secure and long-lasting solution that mimics the natural tooth structure. Implant restorations enhance your smile and improve oral health by maintaining jawbone integrity and preventing the shifting of adjacent teeth, leading to a healthier, more confident smile.
What are the types of implant restorations?
Single-tooth restorations involve replacing a single missing tooth with an implant and a custom-made crown. The process begins with the surgical placement of an implant into the jawbone. Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation. Once the implant has fully integrated, a custom-designed crown is attached to the implant via an abutment. This crown is crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, thus replacing your natural missing tooth.
Implant-supported bridges
Implant-supported bridges are used in restorative dentistry in Orlando when multiple teeth are missing. Instead of relying on adjacent teeth for support, these bridges are anchored by implants, offering enhanced stability and a more permanent solution compared to traditional bridges. The procedure involves placing implants at strategic points in the jawbone, typically at the ends of the gap left by missing teeth. After the implants have osseointegrated, a custom bridge is created and attached to the implants. This bridge consists of artificial teeth held in place by implant-supported crowns.
Overdentures
Overdentures are removable dentures that are securely attached to dental implants. This option provides increased stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures, preventing slipping and improving overall functionality for patients with multiple missing teeth. The process involves placing several implants into the jawbone, which act as anchors for the overdenture. After the implants have fused with the bone, the overdenture is custom-made to snap onto the implants. This is particularly beneficial for patients who struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures.
Reasons to get implant restorations:

- Custom-made to match your natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile
- Eliminates the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures
- Prevents the sunken look associated with missing teeth, maintaining a youthful appearance
- Provides a reliable and stable foundation for dental prosthetics, preventing slipping or shifting
What happens during the
implant restoration procedure?
During the implant restoration procedure, Dr. Ghetiya will first conduct a thorough examination and take detailed images of your mouth to plan the precise placement of the implants. The process begins with the surgical placement of an implant into your jawbone. This is done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The implant is then left to integrate with the jawbone over several months, which creates a strong foundation for your new tooth.
Once the implant has successfully fused with your jawbone, Dr. Ghetiya, a specialist in restorative dentistry in Orlando, will attach an abutment to the implant, which serves as the connector between the implant and the custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. Impressions of your teeth are taken to design a dental prosthetic that matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. The final step involves securing the prosthetic onto the abutment, ensuring it fits perfectly and looks natural. Finally, Dr. Ghetiya will check the alignment and make any necessary adjustments.
