How Dental Implants and Restorations Work
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces teeth so your bite works the way it should. Dental implants are among the most durable options: a small post placed in the jawbone acts as a new tooth root, then supports a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Because implants stimulate the jawbone, they also help prevent the bone loss and facial changes that can follow tooth loss. Not every situation calls for an implant, though. Crowns strengthen teeth weakened by large fillings or fractures, and bridges anchor replacement teeth to healthy neighbors. At Whiten with Hyten, digital impressions and intraoral scanning create accurate 3D models of your mouth, which improves the fit of crowns and implant restorations while sparing you traditional impression trays. Dr. Hyten reviews every option with you, including timelines and care requirements, so you can choose a restoration that matches your health, goals, and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for a dental implant?
Most adults with good overall health, healthy gums, and enough jawbone to support a post are strong implant candidates. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or significant bone loss can complicate treatment, but they do not always rule it out. A dental exam and imaging help measure bone density and reveal if a bone graft or a different restoration would serve you better.
How long does the dental implant process take from start to finish?
The full process often spans several months. After the implant post is placed, the jawbone needs time to fuse with it, commonly three to six months. Once healing is complete, the dentist attaches an abutment and a custom crown. Timelines vary if extractions or bone grafting are needed first, so your dentist will outline a schedule specific to your case.
What is the difference between a dental bridge and an implant?
A bridge fills a gap by anchoring a replacement tooth to crowns placed on the healthy teeth on either side. An implant replaces the tooth root itself and stands independently, so neighboring teeth are not altered. Bridges are typically faster to complete, while implants generally last longer and help preserve jawbone. Your oral health and goals determine the better choice.
