Implant Restoration: Repairing Tooth Replacements
Dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, but like any dental work, they may require maintenance or repairs over time. Implant restoration plays a vital role in ensuring your dental implant continues to function, feel, and look its best.
At Riverglen Dental in Columbus, OH, our compassionate and personalized approach allows us to restore implant issues with precision, ensuring you can smile with confidence again, comfortably and without stress.
Why Implant Restorations May Be Needed
Dental implant posts can last 30+ years, and often last a lifetime. However, the restoration (such as a crown or bridge) can still experience wear, trauma, or complications that warrant professional attention. Several factors can affect the integrity of a dental implant or the crown attached to it, including:
- Fractures or chips in the crown or abutment
- Loosening of the implant or crown
- Gum complications around the implant site
- Normal wear and tear over the years
In some cases, concerns arise from the initial placement if it wasn’t handled precisely, leading to misalignment or discomfort. With our full-service dental approach at Riverglen Dental, patients can trust that their implant restoration will be addressed thoroughly, taking both function and aesthetics into account.
Types of Implant Restoration Services
Dr. Ellen Saslaw and the Riverglen Dental team offer a wide range of implant restoration services tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Whether you're dealing with minor wear or a more complex concern, we carefully evaluate your implant to recommend the right solution. Common services include:
- Crown Replacement: Swapping out a damaged or stained crown for a new, natural-looking one
- Abutment Repair: Replacing the connector piece between the implant and crown if loosened or broken
