Dental implant restoration involves restoring the function, appearance, and health of a previously placed implant that may have experienced complications. These restorations can address issues such as loose implants, chipped crowns, or gum health problems surrounding the implant site. Dr. Shraiteh’s expertise in implant restoration means that patients at House of Smiles Dental can receive quality care to protect their investment and restore their smiles effectively.

While dental implants have a high success rate, certain factors can contribute to implant issues. One of the primary causes of dental implant problems is poor oral hygiene. Bacteria can accumulate around the implant site, leading to gum inflammation or infection, which is known as peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis, if untreated, can cause bone loss around the implant, loosening it over time. Regular check-ups and diligent oral hygiene practices are essential for preventing this issue.

Another common cause of dental implant problems is insufficient bone density. Implants require a stable foundation, and if the jawbone does not have sufficient density, the implant may fail to integrate fully. In some cases, Dr. Shraiteh may recommend bone grafting as part of the implant process to ensure a solid base for the implant, reducing the likelihood of complications later on.

In some cases, dental implant problems can arise due to implant overload, which happens when excessive force is applied to the implant. This may occur from habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) or chewing on hard objects. Over time, this pressure can cause the implant or crown to become loose or even break. To protect implants from such strain, Dr. Shraiteh may suggest custom-made nightguards or other measures to help preserve the implant.

Improper placement or poor surgical technique can also lead to implant issues, emphasizing the importance of choosing a skilled and experienced dentist like Dr. Shraiteh at House of Smiles Dental. Our team takes care to assess each patient’s unique needs, ensuring precise placement and technique to maximize implant success and longevity.

One of the primary benefits of dental implant restoration is the ability to address and correct issues early, preventing more extensive procedures down the road. Dr. Shraiteh and the House of Smiles Dental team monitor the health of the implant site and provide ongoing care and adjustments as needed to ensure long-term success. With regular check-ups, many issues can be identified early and managed effectively, preserving the function and appearance of the implant.
