Implant Restoration in Bayside, NY
After implant placement, the restoration is the final step — the crown, bridge, or denture that sits atop the implant. We use digital impressions for a precise fit that looks and feels completely natural.
About This Treatment
The finishing touch on your permanent tooth.
Implant restoration is the process of attaching the visible, functional part of an implant — the crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture — to the titanium post that has integrated with your jawbone. The restoration is what you see, what you chew with, and what makes the implant feel like a natural tooth. Using our iTero digital scanner, we capture an exact 3D model of the implant site and surrounding teeth, which is sent to our ceramist lab to fabricate a restoration that fits precisely and matches your surrounding teeth in color and shape.
Many patients in Bayside, Whitestone, Fresh Meadows, and Little Neck have implant posts placed by oral surgeons or periodontists and then come to Thrive Dental for the restoration — the crown or bridge that completes the tooth. We work with all major implant systems and coordinate directly with your surgeon throughout the process. Our Bayside practice uses digital impressions for all implant restorations, which are measurably more accurate than traditional putty molds — resulting in crowns that seat correctly the first time with minimal adjustment. If your implant has fully healed and you're ready to complete your new tooth, call us to schedule the restoration appointment.
Key Benefits
What makes this treatment worth it.
Looks Like a Real Tooth
Porcelain implant crowns are shade-matched and shaped to blend perfectly with your natural teeth — undetectable as artificial.
Digital Precision
iTero digital impressions give our ceramist lab an exact model — resulting in a crown that fits accurately from first seating.
Long-Lasting
Implant crowns can last 15–25 years with proper care. The implant post itself is designed to last a lifetime.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know.
What is an implant restoration?
An implant restoration is the visible part of an implant — the crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to the implant post beneath the gumline. Once your implant has healed and integrated with the jawbone, the restoration is placed to complete the tooth replacement.
Can you restore an implant placed by another dentist?
Yes. Many patients come to us for the restoration phase after having their implant post placed by an oral surgeon or periodontist elsewhere. We work with all major implant systems and coordinate directly with your surgeon.
How long does the restoration appointment take?
The restoration appointment typically takes 60–90 minutes. We take digital impressions, select the crown shade, and place the abutment. The lab-fabricated crown is cemented at a brief follow-up appointment 1–2 weeks later.
How do I care for my implant crown?
Just like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss around the crown (an interdental brush or water flosser works well), and attend regular cleanings. The implant post won't decay, but the surrounding gum tissue still needs care.
How long will my implant crown last?
Implant crowns typically last 15–25 years. The implant post itself is designed to last a lifetime. With good hygiene and regular checkups, many patients never need to replace their crown.
