The titanium post beneath your gums represents only half of your dental implant solution. While the implant itself serves as the artificial root anchoring into your jawbone, it’s the restoration—the visible crown that sits above your gumline—that completes your smile and returns full chewing function. This final phase of implant treatment transforms a surgically placed post into a tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like the natural teeth you were born with.
At Pharr Road Dentistry in the Buckhead district, Dr. Keya Patel combines her expertise as a highly-trained restorative dentist specializing in implant dentistry with state-of-the-art technology to create dental implant restorations that seamlessly integrate with your natural smile. From selecting the perfect shade to match your surrounding teeth to ensuring proper bite alignment, every detail of your implant restoration receives meticulous attention.
The restoration phase involves several precisely engineered components that work together to create a functional tooth. The abutment serves as the connecting piece between your implant post and the final crown, acting as a foundation upon which your restoration sits. Custom abutments can be fabricated from titanium or tooth-colored zirconia, with the latter offering superior aesthetics for front teeth where metal might show through the gums or crown.
The crown itself—the portion visible above your gumline—is custom-designed to match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color. Dr. Patel uses advanced digital impressions and shade-matching technology to ensure your implant restoration blends invisibly with your smile. Modern dental materials allow us to create crowns from porcelain, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, each offering distinct advantages depending on the tooth’s location and the forces it will encounter during chewing. Front teeth typically receive all-ceramic restorations for optimal translucency and natural appearance, while back teeth may benefit from the added strength of zirconia or metal-reinforced materials.

Implant restoration begins after your implant has fully integrated with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, which typically takes three to six months. During this healing period, your implant post fuses with the surrounding bone, creating a stable foundation strong enough to support the forces of chewing. Some patients receive a temporary restoration during this time, while others may have a healing abutment or continue using a temporary partial denture.
Once Dr. Patel confirms that osseointegration is complete, the restoration process begins with taking detailed impressions or digital scans of your implant site and surrounding teeth. These records capture the exact position of your implant and the relationship between your upper and lower teeth, allowing our dental laboratory to fabricate a restoration that fits precisely and functions harmoniously with your bite. According to research published in the Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, dental implants demonstrate a five-year survival rate of 92.5%, with proper restoration playing a crucial role in achieving these impressive outcomes.
The abutment is placed first, either at the same appointment as your final impression or at a separate visit depending on your specific case. Some abutments screw directly into the implant, while others use a cement retention system. After the abutment is secured and your custom crown returns from the laboratory, Dr. Patel carefully evaluates the fit, appearance, and bite before final placement. She makes any necessary adjustments to ensure your restoration feels completely natural and doesn’t create any interference with your existing teeth. The final crown is then either screwed or cemented onto the abutment, completing your implant restoration.

While implant restorations are designed to withstand normal chewing forces and daily use, they require the same attentive care you give your natural teeth. Brushing twice daily and flossing around your implant crown removes plaque and bacteria that could compromise the health of the surrounding gum tissue. The area where your restoration meets the gum requires special attention, as bacteria accumulating in this zone can lead to peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition that threatens the stability of your implant.
Regular dental examinations at Pharr Road Dentistry allow Dr. Patel to monitor your implant restoration and the health of surrounding tissues. During these visits, we check for any signs of cement residue beneath the gumline, evaluate the stability of your restoration, measure the depth of the gum pocket around your implant, and take periodic X-rays to assess bone levels. Professional cleanings with instruments specifically designed for implant maintenance help preserve the surfaces of your restoration while protecting the implant beneath. Avoiding habits like chewing ice, biting hard objects, or using your teeth as tools protects your restoration from fracture or loosening, just as these practices protect your natural teeth and any same-day crowns you may have.
Your implant restoration represents the culmination of a carefully planned treatment journey designed to restore both function and confidence to your smile. Dr. Patel and our experienced team at Pharr Road Dentistry are committed to delivering implant restorations that exceed your expectations for aesthetics, comfort, and longevity. Whether you’re currently in the healing phase following implant placement or considering dental implants to replace missing teeth, we’re here to guide you through every step of the restoration process.
