Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Restoration
Here are a few most commonly asked questions about dental implant restorations. If you don’t see your question answered here, rest assured that our dentists in Lakeway, TX, will be happy to answer that question and more during your implant restoration consultation.
1. My dental implant feels loose. What can be done?
Many patients with this question worry that their other dental implants may become loose. It’s important to point out that dental implants have a success rate that approaches 100 percent, so if one implant comes loose, chances are statistically rare that your others will. The best thing you can do when you experience a loose dental implant is to schedule an appointment for an exam to determine the best next steps for that tooth’s treatment.
2. My dental implant is fractured from an injury. Do I need a complete implant procedure again?
No. In almost all cases where an implant becomes fractured, most likely due to an impact injury, our dentist can often repair the fracture by replacing the crown portion of your dental implant.
3. Do I need a complete dental implant replacement?
Although dentists can accomplish most dental implant restorations by replacing the crown portion of the implant, there are instances when a dental implant does need to be replaced entirely. If you’ve received a dental implant from another practice showing signs of failure and want information on your best next steps, please call us to schedule a consultation for an implant restoration or implant replacement in Lakeway, TX.
