Dental Implant Restoration in Palo Alto, CA

Restoring Dental Implants with Comfort and Precision

Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth—but the surgical post is only part of the equation. Once your implant has been placed by a specialist, our team completes the process by designing and placing your custom implant-supported restoration, whether it's a crown, bridge, or denture.

We combine advanced imaging, digital impressions, and personalized design to create restorations that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth—so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

What Is a Dental Implant Restoration?

A dental implant restoration refers to the visible part of your new tooth—the crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to the implant post in your jaw. This restoration must be carefully crafted to ensure:

• Natural appearance
• Strong, comfortable bite alignment
• Long-term durability
• Seamless integration with surrounding teeth

While implant surgery is performed by a specialist (oral surgeon or periodontist), Dr. Denise Henderson designs and places the final restoration right here in our Palo Alto office.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Restorations

Dental implant restorations are:

• Custom-made to match your surrounding teeth
• Stable and secure—no shifting or slipping
• Designed for durability, often lasting 15+ years with proper care
• Comfortable and functional, restoring your ability to chew and speak naturally
• Supportive of jawbone health, preventing bone loss over time

Whether you’re replacing one tooth or restoring a full arch, a well-made restoration is essential for long-term success.

Our Dental Implant Restoration Process

We make the restoration experience smooth, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Consultation & Digital Imaging

We begin with a comprehensive exam and use iTero® digital scanning to capture high-resolution images of your bite and implant site.

Step 2: Coordination with Your Specialist

If your implant surgery has not yet occurred, we coordinate with trusted local oral surgeons and periodontists to ensure a smooth surgical experience. If your implant is already placed, we’ll evaluate healing and readiness for restoration.

Step 3: Custom Restoration Design

Using digital impressions (no messy molds), we design a precise, natural-looking restoration that fits your bite and blends seamlessly with your smile.

Step 4: Final Placement

Once your custom crown, bridge, or denture is ready, we securely attach it to your implant post and check for bite comfort, esthetics, and function.

Throughout the process, Dr. Henderson works closely with your surgical provider to ensure complete care and long-term stability.

Types of Implant Restorations We Offer

We provide a wide range of implant-supported restorations, depending on your needs:

• Implant Crowns – Replace a single missing tooth with a custom crown attached to a single implant
