Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth permanently, integrating directly into your jawbone for stability and function. However, implants can experience issues over time due to wear, trauma, or changes in your oral health. Common problems may include:
Loose implant crowns
Broken or chipped implant components
Gum recession around the implant
Infection or irritation at the implant site
Our dental implant repair process focuses on diagnosing the exact cause of the problem and offering a solution that restores comfort, function, and aesthetics.
Crown Replacement
If the crown attached to your implant is damaged or worn, we can replace it with a new, custom-made crown to match your natural teeth.
Abutment Adjustment or Replacement
The abutment connects the implant to the crown. If it becomes loose or misaligned, our team can adjust or replace it without removing the implant from your jawbone.
Implant Screw Tightening
Over time, the screws securing the implant can loosen. We carefully tighten these screws to stabilize your implant.
Gum Tissue Repair
Healthy gums are essential for implant success. If your gum tissue has receded or become irritated, we perform treatments to restore your gum health around the implant.
Full Implant Restoration
In rare cases where an implant is severely damaged, our team can remove the implant and replace it with a new one, ensuring the surrounding bone and gum tissue are preserved.
