Dental Implant Restoration From Your Dentists in Somerville

If you've had a dental implant placed but are experiencing issues with it or the crown becoming loose, Middlecoff Dental Group in Somerville is here to help.

How common are problems with dental implants?

Although dental implants are a very successful way to replace missing teeth, it's possible for them to become loose or for the crowns to crack or fall off. This can happen because of gum or periodontal disease deteriorating the bone around the implant, because the stabilization process wherein the implant fuses with the bone didn't take full effect, or because the implant was placed in an area of high stress, such as the back molars.

Why is dental implant restoration sometimes necessary?

Dental implant restoration may be necessary in order to save the dental implant and prevent further damage to the surrounding teeth. If an implant becomes loose, it may need to be removed and replaced. It’s also possible that the bone surrounding the implant may require grafting to ensure that a replacement implant will successfully fuse with the jawbone. In the event that an implant’s crown cracks or falls off, it will need to be carefully examined to determine whether or not it can be repaired and put back in place.
