Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implants are designed to function like natural teeth. This means they also can require the same maintenance and repairs as natural teeth. Dental implants are a restorative dentistry treatment that can last the rest of your life, but they need routine care. If your implant is damaged, you may need to have it repaired or restored. Our implant dentist at Topsfield Smiles can perform dental implant restorations at our dental center in Topsfield, MA.
Dental implants contain a post that adheres to the jawbone, plus an abutment and connected dental restoration. Single dental implants usually are covered with a dental crown that creates a new tooth. Any of these components can be damaged through trauma, wear and other oral problems. If a crown is cracked or an abutment breaks loose, the components may need to be replaced. Our dental implant experts at Topsfield Smiles can perform a thorough exam and determine the best way to restore or repair your damaged implant.
Implant Repairs
You may not realize a dental implant is damaged right away. While dental implants function similarly to natural teeth, they do not have the nerve roots that can indicate problems with the tooth. It is vital to have routine checkups to examine your dental implants and check for any damage. Implant repairs can prevent the need for complete restorations, which are more invasive and expensive.
Dental implants have a very high success rate, but they can still be affected by poor oral hygiene, trauma and other factors. Like any tooth, they may require occasional repairs to keep them functioning at the highest level. When properly maintained and repaired as needed, you can enjoy the benefits of your teeth implants for decades.
