Cooper Dental Arts Center

For the vast majority of patients who are missing one or more teeth, implant restorations are the recommended course of treatment. This type of restoration involves a two step process. The implant, which replaces the root of the tooth, is first placed in the socket area by a surgical specialist. Cooper Dental Arts Centers partners with the best periodontists and oral surgeons in the area for this step in the restoration. Once the implant placement is complete, our dentists and laboratory work with the patient to then produce the custom connector and permanent crown for the restoration.

Implant restorations are generally preferred over fixed or removable bridges because they (1) do not increase the stress on the neighboring teeth; (2) prevent bone loss associated with a missing tooth; and (3) are not subject to future decay. Implant restorations look and feel like natural teeth and provide a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.
