What Is a Dental Implant Restoration?

A dental implant restoration refers to the replacement or repair of the prosthetic portion of a dental implant—typically a crown, bridge, or denture that is supported by the implant post. While the titanium post placed in the jawbone can last a lifetime, the visible restoration is subject to normal wear and tear or damage over time.

We provide customized restoration services for:

Signs Your Implant Restoration May Need Repair or Replacement

If your current implant-supported restoration shows any of the following issues, it may be time to consult with our team:

  • Loose or shifting crown or denture
  • Cracks, chips, or visible damage
  • Discomfort when biting or chewing
  • Gum irritation around the implant site
  • Changes in your bite alignment or function

We offer thorough evaluations to determine whether a repair or full restoration is the best course of action.

Our Dental Implant Restoration Process

At Chips Dental Associates, every implant restoration begins with a detailed examination using modern diagnostic tools such as 3D CT scanning and intraoral cameras. Our process includes:

  1. Assessing the condition of the existing restoration and implant post
  2. Evaluating bite, aesthetics, and function
  3. Creating a treatment plan for repair or full restoration
  4. Fabricating a custom crown, bridge, or denture using high-quality materials
  5. Securely attaching the new restoration for long-term durability

We also use digital impressions for highly accurate results and a comfortable, mess-free patient experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implant Restorations

How long do dental implant restorations last?
On average, implant crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years with proper care, while the titanium post can last much longer. We recommend regular checkups to extend their lifespan.

Can you restore implants placed by another dentist?
Yes. Our team is experienced in working with implant systems from a variety of providers and can help repair or restore existing dental implants regardless of where they were placed.

Is the restoration process painful?
Most restoration work is minimally invasive and does not involve the implant post or bone. Many patients require only local anesthesia or none at all.

What if my implant feels loose?
A loose implant crown or denture is usually repairable, but it’s important to schedule a visit promptly to avoid complications.

Do you offer sedation for anxious patients?
Yes. We provide IV sedation and other comfort options for patients who prefer a relaxed, stress-free experience.
