How We Repair or Restore Damaged Dental Implants
It doesn’t happen very often, but just like real teeth, dental implants can become damaged even when we’re taking great care of them. It could be the result of the implant not bonding sufficiently to the jawbone, or the jawbone itself could be the problem. If your implant becomes cracked, chipped, or feels loose, it’s time to visit Forney Family Dentistry & Orthodontics for an implant restoration.
Dr. Morrison can assess the implant and determine the type of repair needed. We are available to assist those in Forney, Mesquite, Sunnyvale, and the surrounding areas of Texas with implant repair and to ensure a healthy mouth in the future.
The repair of an implant depends on the extent of the damage it sustained. If the problem is confined to the damaged crown, it is relatively easy to repair. In many cases, it is possible to repair or replace the crown without disturbing the implant post lodged in the jawbone.
However, when the implant is damaged, it becomes even more complex. If the implant or post is damaged, it may need to be removed. Removing an implant or post may require a minor surgical procedure. After the area heals, we can place a new implant to replace the tooth.
Due to the uniqueness of each case, it is essential to evaluate each to determine the best course of action for dental implant restoration services in Forney.
What To Do If You Notice a Problem With Your Implant
If you suspect your implant is damaged, it is important not to attempt to diagnose or fix the problem yourself. This is because dental implants are complex dental restorations, and such attempts may cause further problems.
Attempting to fix or adjust a loose dental implant or any suspected damage may cause more problems than expected and may even harm the gums or jawbone. Therefore, a dental professional should examine any issues with your implants.
