Dental Implants
Replace one tooth or several with implants that look, feel, and function like your own — and protect the bone beneath them.
Quick answer
A dental implant is a titanium post that replaces a missing tooth root, topped with a custom crown. At Restoration Dental in Clermont, FL, implants are 3D-planned and the crowns are crafted in our in-house lab for a precise, natural fit — whether you're replacing one tooth or rebuilding your whole smile.

How dental implants work
An implant has three parts: the titanium post (the new root), an abutment, and a crown. The post fuses with your jawbone over a few months — a process called osseointegration — creating a stable foundation. Because the implant stimulates the bone like a natural root, it helps prevent the bone loss and "sunken" look that follow missing teeth.
Single, multiple, and full-arch options
- Single implant — one post and crown for one missing tooth.
- Implant bridge — a few implants support several teeth.
- All-On-4 full arch — a complete fixed set on four implants.
Why implants beat the alternatives
Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant doesn't require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth, and unlike dentures, it won't slip. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry describes implants as the most natural, long-lasting tooth-replacement option available. Patients who've had extensive work here put it simply: "They kept me informed during extensive procedures." — Chuck P.
Frequently asked questions
How long do dental implants last?
The implant post is designed to be a permanent, long-term solution and routinely lasts many years with good care. The crown on top may eventually need replacement due to normal wear.
Is getting an implant painful?
Most patients are surprised how comfortable it is. Placement is done with local anesthesia and sedation options, and Restoration Dental reviews frequently mention painless treatment.
Can I get an implant if I lost the tooth years ago?
Often yes, though longer gaps can involve some bone loss. A 3D scan at your consultation tells us whether you need any bone preparation first.
