Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implants are known for their durability and longevity, but sometimes they need repairs, or in rare cases, to be replaced entirely. Whether you think something may be wrong with your implant or you know you need an implant restoration, our Katy dental team would be happy to assess the situation and design a custom treatment plan. Contact our office today to learn more about our services and schedule!
You may need a dental implant restoration if a previously placed implant or its attached crown, bridge, or denture shows signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Symptoms can include difficulty chewing, pain, gum irritation around the implant, or changes in the fit of your restoration. During your dental exam, our team will evaluate the condition of your implant and restoration to determine if repair, replacement, or adjustment is necessary to maintain proper function and appearance.
A dental implant restoration involves repairing, replacing, or adjusting the prosthetic portion of an existing implant, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Depending on the issue, this may include replacing a worn or damaged crown, tightening a loose restoration, or making adjustments to improve fit and comfort. The underlying implant post usually remains in place, but in certain cases, such as in the case of implant failure, the titanium post may need to be removed or modified.
Dental implant failure is relatively rare, with success rates generally above 95%. Failure can occur due to factors such as infection, insufficient bone, poor oral hygiene, or excessive stress on the implant. Smoking, certain medical conditions, and untreated gum disease can also increase the risk. Most implant failures are preventable with careful planning, proper placement, and ongoing maintenance, making implants a reliable and long-lasting option for tooth replacement.
