What are the implant restorations available?
Dental implants are a versatile tooth replacement system. They offer a solution for every missing tooth, from single spaces to multiple gaps. Regain your fully functional smile with the following implant options.
- Single-tooth implants: Missing an individual tooth? Fill the gap with an innovative tooth replacement system. The dentist attaches a customized crown to your titanium post, rebuilding your appearance and functionality. Your new tooth blends seamlessly with your smile for undetectable outcomes.
- Implant bridge: Replace a few missing teeth in a row with an implant-supported bridge. Two dental implant posts are securely placed into the jawbone, anchoring a custom-made bridge that fills the gap. Unlike conventional bridges, implant bridges provide enhanced stability without affecting the health of surrounding teeth.
- Implant-supported dentures: Dental implants can make your full–mouth dentures more stable so you can speak and eat confidently and comfortably.
Ask anyone who has lost teeth. They’ll tell you about social embarrassment, painful chewing, and diminished confidence. But there’s good news—dental implants have transformed the lives of countless patients by providing a strong, natural-looking replacement.

Dental Implant Restoration FAQs
What is a dental implant restoration?
Dental implant restoration is the process of completing your implant with a denture, bridge, or crown after the implant post has fused with your jawbone. At Walnut Creek Laser Dentistry, Dr. Eriksen designs implant restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, implant restorations restore your smile, chewing ability, and confidence. We pay close attention to make sure every restoration we provide for patients matches the surrounding teeth in size, shape, and color for a seamless result.
How much does dental implant restoration cost?
The cost of dental implant restoration in Walnut Creek depends on several factors, including the type of restoration, how many teeth need replacement, and whether additional procedures are needed. On average, the restoration portion of treatment may range $1,000 – $3,000 per tooth. During your consultation, Dr. Eriksen will provide a detailed estimate, explain your options, and create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs and budget.
Is dental implant restoration covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for dental implant restorations varies by plan. While some insurers may not cover implants themselves, they may provide partial coverage for the restoration, such as the denture, bridge, or crown attached to the implant. We will gladly help you review your benefits and file insurance claims. We also offer financing options to make implant restorations more accessible, so you can enjoy the benefits of a complete and functional smile without unnecessary financial stress.
Does dental implant restoration hurt?
Dental implant restoration is typically a comfortable process since surgical healing has already occurred. When it’s time to attach your denture, bridge, or crown, most patients experience little to no discomfort. At Walnut Creek Laser Dentistry, we take extra steps to ensure your experience is painless and stress-free. Any mild soreness after the procedure can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, though most patients return to normal eating and speaking almost immediately.
How long do dental implant restorations last?
Dental implant restorations can last many years with proper care. The implant post itself is designed to be permanent, while the crown or restoration on top could require replacement due to normal wear and tear after 10 – 15 years. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene, scheduling regular dental visits, and avoiding habits like smoking or teeth grinding will extend the life of your implant restoration. Dr. Eriksen provides guidance on how to best care for your restoration to ensure it remains functional and beautiful.
What are the benefits of dental implant restoration compared to other options?
Dental implant restorations are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants preserve your jawbone, prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, and provide unmatched stability. They also look and feel more natural, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At our practice, implant restorations are custom-crafted to complement your smile, giving you both aesthetic and functional benefits that last longer than traditional options.
