Dental technology has advanced dental implants over time. Newer ones both look and function better than older versions. Because of that, the older implants sometimes need restoration, which could include repairs or sometimes a replacement. At Modesto Dentistry and Implants, we offer this restorative dentistry service to improve the look and health of your mouth.
Many times, we are able to repair a current implant instead of needing to fully replace it. When we repair the tooth, we tend to replace the crown part of the implant with a cap that is more advanced with a better design. Sometimes the old crown loosens or even falls out. The newer crown versions we would replace the old one with can match the rest of your teeth better and have an improved shape. When we are able to repair the tooth, it has the benefit of being a quick and minor procedure that won’t affect your life too much. When needed, we can quickly put in a temporary version until you are ready for the lasting fix.
In some cases, implant replacement is necessary. This can be due to extensive damage that has reduced the tooth’s appearance and ability to function. It’s more common for older ones to require replacement. The upside of needing a replacement is that the new version would be one of the more advanced implants available. They have improvements over the older models and could provide a better look, improved function and enhanced comfort over the one you currently have. The more advanced ones are made with higher-quality materials that are stronger for longer, with an improved appearance.
