Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth — and when cared for properly, they can last for decades. However, just like natural teeth, implants aren’t immune to wear, trauma, or complications. At DNTL Hub in Elk Grove, Dr. Devan Dalla provides expert dental implant restorations to repair damage and protect your investment. Whether a crown has cracked, an abutment has loosened, or the implant itself is showing signs of trouble, we offer timely, skilled care to restore comfort, appearance, and function.
When Do Dental Implants Need Restoration?
While dental implants are made of strong, biocompatible materials, they still require ongoing care and professional monitoring. Some common reasons for implant repairs include:
- A chipped or cracked crown
- A loose abutment or visible screw
- Gum recession or bone loss around the implant site
- Trauma or impact that disrupts the implant’s stability
- Wear and tear over time that affects bite or aesthetics
Implant complications often develop quietly, without the pain signals you’d expect from natural teeth. That’s why regular dental visits are essential—even for patients with full implant-supported restorations.
Protecting Your Long-Term Oral Health
Dr. Dalla uses advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to evaluate the implant, surrounding gum tissue, and bone support. Depending on the issue, treatment may involve replacing the crown, adjusting or re-securing the abutment, or in some cases, removing and replacing the implant post if failure has occurred due to trauma or infection.
If an implant-supported bridge or denture is involved, we will also assess the entire prosthetic for fit and function to ensure your overall bite and comfort are preserved.
Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Restorations
While the titanium post is very strong, the crown or abutment above the gum line can crack or become damaged, especially after trauma or years of use.
Warning signs include movement or looseness, redness or swelling around the implant, gum recession, or difficulty biting down.
