While dental implants can permanently replace missing teeth as naturally as possible, they are not infallible. Just like your natural teeth, they can be damaged, need repair or even need replacement. At SmileVana, not only do we create beautiful dental implants for our patients, we also offer dental implant restorations and repairs at our office in Easton.
Like all medical technology in restorative dentistry, dental implants have improved over the years. The ones we use today at SmileVana look more natural and are more durable than those that were used a decade or more ago. Some people that have dental implants from years past may experience issues, both cosmetically and functionally. The good news is that Dr. Smith at SmileVana can restore dental implants and make them look and feel better than they did when they were first implemented.
Dental implants are made from crowns attached to titanium posts. Like all dental crowns, these artificial teeth can crack, chip or become loose. However, since they are not attached to a live tooth, you may not feel it when a dental implant needs repair. Unless it is visually noticeable, you may not realize you have a problem.
Dental implants, like all teeth, need routine maintenance. At SmileVana, we suggest you come in for regular checkups, even if all your teeth have been replaced with implants. Dr. Smith can examine your implants to ensure they are in good condition and monitor your gum health. If any of your dental implants need repair, we will fix the issue and restore your implants to optimum functionality.
