The Art & Science of Fitting Lifelike, Custom Crowns to Stable Dental Implants
A complete dental implant consists of two vital phases: the surgical placement of the biocompatible titanium fixture into the jawbone (performed by our periodontists), and the subsequent Implant Restoration phase, in which custom abutments and final porcelain crowns, bridges, or full arches are crafted and secured.
At Main Line Dental Arts, we work in close synergy with your general restorative dentist or provide complete in-house prosthetic restorative planning. We utilize advanced optical intraoral scanners (no messy goopy impression trays) to capture exact 3D digital records of the implant emergence profile and adjacent tooth contours.
Custom-milled titanium or aesthetic zirconia abutments ensure optimal soft-tissue support, preventing dark metal margins at the gumline and fostering natural pink aesthetics.
You may benefit from this treatment if you experience any of the following:
We verify that the underlying implant post is 100% rigid and biologically integrated with surrounding bone tissue.
Using digital wand scanners, we capture the exact 3D orientation of the implant hex and the natural emergence angle of your gum tissue.
A precision custom abutment is computer-milled from medical-grade titanium or tooth-colored zirconia to support natural gum scalloping.
The final crown is either screw-retained or cemented with specialized implant cement. The bite is finely calibrated to prevent excessive point loads.
Shaped like a natural tooth emerging from the gumline, preventing food impaction.
Zirconia abutments eliminate shadowy gray lines at the gumline in visible front teeth.
Whenever possible, restorations are screw-retained for effortless future maintenance.
Color-matched precisely to adjacent natural teeth, including translucency and texture.
Practical instructions to ensure an anxiety-free visit and smooth, rapid healing.
What to expect from your initial specialist consultation through complete recovery.
High-resolution 3D CBCT scan to map bone density, nerve paths, and simulate virtual implant placement.
Atraumatic surgical fixture placement with gentle local anesthesia and optional relaxation sedation.
Biological fusion where bone cells integrate directly onto titanium surface over 8 to 12 weeks.
Custom zirconia or porcelain crown/bridge delivery, co-managed with your restorative dentist.
Periodontists undergo 3 additional years of accredited university surgical residency beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on jawbone biology, tissue regeneration, and micro-precision implant placement. We partner closely with your family dentist to deliver lasting clinical excellence.
Our board-certified periodontists, Dr. Borguet, Dr. Hodgson, and Dr. Susanin, are here to help restore your oral health with compassionate, personalized care.
