Implant Repair
Implant Crown Repairs in San Diego County
Dental implants are long-lasting dental interventions, but they aren’t indestructible! Just like your natural teeth, implants are susceptible to daily wear and tear, and can become damaged, loose, or dislodged. At A+ Family Dentistry, we are able to provide dental implant repair so that you can continue enjoying your fully restored smile, even when something unexpected affects your dental implant. Learn more about implant repair and how it can continue to support your dental health.
What Is a Dental Implant Repair?
A dental implant repair is a restorative dentistry treatment that is used to fix damage to a dental implant. Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically placed into the jawbone, and act as artificial tooth roots. Crowns are then placed on top of the implants to complete the smile restoration. Implant repair can include a number of different treatments, depending on the type and severity of damage, from addressing cracks or chips to doing a full implant replacement.
Signs Your Dental Implant Needs Repair
There are several signs that you may need dental implant repair, including:
- Pain around the implant
- Difficulty eating or speaking
- Instability of the implant
- A loose implant
- Visible damage to the implant or crown
What To Expect During a Dental Implant Repair Procedure
The type of dental implant repair you need will depend on the extent of damage to your implant. Minor damage, such as a small crack or chip, can usually be repaired with a simple in-office procedure. More significant damage may require surgery to remove and replace the implant.
If the crown is damaged, it will need to be replaced. In some cases, the implant itself may be undamaged, and only the crown will need to be replaced.
If you have damage to your implant that is causing pain or making it difficult to eat or speak, you may need a procedure called “implant removal and replacement surgery.” This type of surgery is usually more invasive than repair, and requires a longer recovery time.

"A+ dentistry has been awesome! I hadn't been to the dentist in over a year, so they took a full scan of my mouth and explained in detail every step I should take to improve my hygiene and any procedures they recommended. They were transparent on each service and did not try to sell me anything."
"10/10. The best dentist I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a few considering I move around a lot. Dr. Victor, Jahaida, and staff are very kind. They take pretty good care of you."
