Placement vs. Restoration: The Difference
A dental implant involves two stages. The first is surgical, when a specialist places the post in the bone. Next comes the restoration stage. Here, we attach the crown that you see and use. Both stages must work together for a lasting result. Dr. Matouk thoughtfully plans your restoration for a precise, comfortable fit.
Types of Implant Restorations We Offer in Houston, TX
Your restoration depends on how many teeth you replace. We offer several options for every situation:
Single Tooth Implant Restoration
Missing a single tooth? We restore it with a custom implant crown. We match the crown to your surrounding teeth for a natural look. This protects your oral health and keeps neighboring teeth from shifting.
Multiple-Tooth Implant Restoration (Implant Bridges)
Missing several teeth in a row? An implant bridge is a reliable solution. It restores multiple teeth without placing an implant for each one. This strengthens your bite and helps preserve your jawbone.
Full Arch Restoration (All-on-4® / All-on-6)
Lost most or all of your teeth? We offer full-arch restoration with All-on-4 or All-on-6. A few well-placed implants support a complete set of teeth. You regain the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures? Implant-supported dentures give you a secure fit. We stabilize your denture with dental implants for better chewing. Say goodbye to messy adhesives and slipping.
Implant Crown Replacement
Implant crowns sometimes wear, fracture, or simply look dated. Dr. Matouk evaluates the implant site and designs a fresh crown. Your new restoration fits perfectly and restores your natural look.
Abutment Replacement or Repair
The abutment connects your implant to its crown. Over time, it can loosen or wear down. We repair or replace the abutment to keep your restoration secure. This often saves both the implant and the crown above it.
The Restoration Process at Matouk Family Dentistry
Your restoration starts with a detailed exam. Dr. Matouk checks your implant, bite, and gums. We use advanced technology to plan your crown. Next, we attach a small connector called an abutment.
This piece links the implant to your new tooth. We then take a precise impression or digital scan of your mouth. Our lab crafts a crown that matches your smile. Finally, we secure it and check your bite carefully.

Had a fantastic experience with Dr. Matouk. I called with a tooth emergency on the weekend and she was able to get me in right away and fix my broken tooth. Dr. Matouk is very professional. The technology is amazing as they didn't have to do an impression for my crown. Highly recommend Matouk Family Dentistry
