Dental Implant Restorative Assistants
The principles for restoring dental implants are very similar to conventional crown and bridge techniques.
Interestingly many restorative dentists and dental implants restorative assistants find the restorative aspects of Implant dentistry simpler and more rewarding than conventional dental crown and bridge.
Generally the patient will present to the restorative surgery with a healing abutment in place.
In the majority of cases the impression will be taken at ‘Implant Level’, however some abutments allow for their preparation intraorally – similar to that of a natural tooth – in these cases a conventional crown and bridge impression protocol would be followed.
