Eric Heim Dental provides implant restoration services — the crown, abutment, and prosthetic components placed onto an already-integrated implant fixture to complete your tooth replacement. Dr. Heim works with precision-milled crowns and prosthetics matched to the shade and contour of your surrounding teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Implant-supported restorations are the closest clinical equivalent to a natural tooth root-and-crown system, preserving jawbone density and preventing the shifting of adjacent teeth that follows an untreated extraction site. Whether you're restoring a single implant or a multi-unit bridge, Dr. Heim's Navy-trained attention to detail ensures every restoration is seated with accuracy.

Implant placement is the surgical phase — a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone by an oral surgeon or implantologist and left to osseointegrate (fuse with bone) over 3–6 months. An implant restoration is the prosthetic phase — Dr. Heim attaches the abutment and custom crown to the integrated post, completing the visible tooth. Eric Heim Dental specialises in the restoration phase.
With proper oral hygiene and regular professional maintenance, an implant-supported crown typically lasts 15–25 years before the prosthetic component may need replacement due to normal wear. The titanium implant fixture itself, once fully osseointegrated, can last a lifetime — making the overall system the most durable tooth-replacement option available.
Yes — Dr. Heim uses shade-matched, precision-milled porcelain crowns contoured to mirror the size and shape of your surrounding teeth. The restoration is designed to emerge from the gumline in a way that mimics a natural tooth root, so the result is virtually indistinguishable from your natural dentition in both appearance and function.
