Dental Implant Restorations in Fort Collins, CO

Restore Strength and Aesthetics to Your Smile
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for missing teeth—but like natural teeth, their visible components can wear down or require replacement over time. At Ray Dental, we provide expertly crafted dental implant restorations to help patients regain both function and confidence, whether they’ve received their original implant here or elsewhere.
Serving patients throughout Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, Greeley, and Timnath, our team focuses on providing seamless, natural-looking restorations that complement your smile and last for years to come.
What Is a Dental Implant Restoration?
A dental implant is made of two key parts:
- The implant post, which is embedded in the jawbone and serves as the root
- The restoration, which is the visible part—usually a crown, bridge, or denture
While the titanium implant post typically lasts for decades, the restoration may need to be repaired or replaced due to:
- Normal wear and tear
- Damage from trauma
- Changes in fit or bite alignment
- Aesthetic concerns
- Aging dental materials
Dental implant restorations at Ray Dental involve the careful replacement or repair of the visible portion of your implant to restore proper appearance and function.
Types of Implant Restorations We Offer
At Ray Dental, we work with a wide range of restoration types to fit each patient’s specific needs:
Implant Crowns
Used to replace a single missing tooth. A custom dental crown is attached to the implant to blend naturally with your other teeth.
Implant Bridges
Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth using two or more implant posts. Bridges are designed to span gaps while remaining secure and functional.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Used for full-arch tooth replacement, implant-supported dentures offer more stability than traditional dentures and are removable or fixed depending on your preference.
Implant Overdentures
Implant overdentures snap onto dental implants, providing improved retention with the convenience of removability.
What to Expect During Your Restoration
We begin by evaluating your current implant and restoration, whether it was placed at our office or another practice. The restoration process typically includes:
- Assessment – We examine the implant site, surrounding tissues, and restoration for signs of wear, damage, or instability.
- Digital Imaging – Digital X-rays and intraoral scans help us accurately plan and fabricate your replacement.
- Custom Design – Your new crown, bridge, or denture is crafted to match your bite, shade, and anatomy.
- Final Placement – Once the new restoration is complete, it is securely attached to the implant post.
Your case is carefully overseen by Dr. Veronica Ray, whose expertise ensures long-lasting results that look and feel natural.
Why Implant Restoration Matters
Even if the implant post is healthy and secure, a failing restoration can impact your oral function, comfort, and confidence. Timely restoration protects your implant investment by:
- Preventing bite misalignment or discomfort
- Maintaining your smile’s appearance and balance
- Supporting proper chewing and speech
- Reducing risk of damage to adjacent teeth or implants
If you're experiencing pain, loosening, discoloration, or damage to your existing restoration, we encourage you to schedule a prompt evaluation.

How long does a dental implant restoration last?
Restorations typically last 10–15 years, but their lifespan can vary depending on material quality, oral hygiene, and bite pressure.
Can you replace a restoration from another office?
Yes. We frequently work with patients who received their implant elsewhere and need a new or improved restoration.
What if my implant is damaged, not just the crown?
If the implant post is loose or compromised, we’ll refer you for evaluation and discuss whether re-treatment or bone grafting is necessary.
Will my new restoration match the rest of my teeth?
Absolutely. We custom-shade every crown, bridge, or denture to blend with your natural teeth or existing restorations.
Do implant restorations require special care?
They should be brushed and flossed like natural teeth. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential to monitor your implant and surrounding tissue.
