Completing Your Implant with a Custom Restoration
Once your dental implants have integrated with the jawbone, the next step is placing the restoration — the visible crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to the implant and functions as your replacement teeth. At West Chester Family Dentistry, every implant restoration is custom-designed for a precise fit, natural appearance, and long-lasting function.
Implant restorations may be fabricated from materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or ceramic, selected to match your natural teeth in color and shape. Your dentist will discuss material options during your consultation.

The Implant Restoration Process
After your implants have healed and integrated with the jawbone, the restoration process begins:
- An abutment (connector piece) is placed on the implant to support the restoration.
- Impressions or digital scans are taken for precise fabrication of the final restoration.
- The custom crown, bridge, or denture is crafted by our dental lab to exact specifications.
- The restoration is attached to the implant, adjusted for bite comfort, and polished.
Which Implant Restoration Is Right for You?
The type of restoration placed on your implants depends on how many teeth you are replacing and your specific goals. A single implant crown replaces one tooth, an implant-supported bridge replaces several adjacent teeth, and an implant-supported denture replaces an entire arch.
During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your implants, discuss your goals, and recommend the restoration type that will give you the best functional and aesthetic result.
Implant Restoration Options
We offer a full range of implant restorations to complete your treatment:
Implant Crown
A single porcelain crown placed on one implant to replace a single missing tooth.
Implant Bridge
A multi-tooth bridge supported by two or more implants to replace several adjacent teeth.
Implant Denture
A full-arch denture secured by implants for stability without adhesive.
Restoration Cost and Coverage
The cost of your implant restoration depends on the type (crown, bridge, or denture) and the materials used. Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of implant restorations. Our team will verify your benefits and provide a detailed cost estimate before treatment begins.
We offer financing options to help make your restoration affordable. Call 513-755-2118 to schedule your implant restoration appointment at West Chester Family Dentistry.
Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Restorations
The implant is the titanium post placed in the jawbone. The restoration is the visible part — the crown, bridge, or denture — that attaches to the implant and functions as your replacement tooth or teeth.
Implant restorations typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. The implant post itself can last a lifetime, while the restoration on top may need replacement due to normal wear over time.
Yes. If a crown, bridge, or denture on an implant becomes damaged or worn, it can typically be replaced without disturbing the implant post, as long as the post remains stable and integrated with the bone.
Care for implant restorations the same way you would natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss around the implant, and attend regular dental cleanings. Your hygienist may use specialized instruments to clean around implants.
Coverage varies by plan. Many dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of the restoration (crown, bridge, or denture), though implant placement coverage varies more widely. Our team will verify your benefits.
We use high-quality porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic materials that match your natural teeth in color and translucency. The material selected depends on the location of the restoration and your aesthetic preferences.
