Dental Implant Repair

Our Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry team has the skills to repair any type of implant. Contact us today for more details.

One of the best dental treatments for replacing one or more missing teeth is dental implants. The implants are a permanent oral fixture with a dental crown replacing the visible aspect of a lost tooth. Despite the permanent nature of dental implants, implant failure and crown damage are rare possibilities. 

For the best dental implant repair in Orlando, FL, turn to our professionals at Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry. Led by Dr. Michael Gagaoudakis, our dental practice is a one-stop solution for all things relating to dental implants. With more than 18 years of experience in restorative dentistry and oral surgery, Dr. Mike and our team can efficiently address any issue you have with your dental implant or prosthesis.

We at Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry can address many dental implant problems. For instance, you could experience an oral trauma that damages your implant's crown or bridge. If so, Dr. Mike can examine your mouth and determine if he can repair your prosthesis by bonding the fracture or if a replacement crown is necessary. 

Dr. Mike can also replace a loose dental implant. Successful implants bond to the jawbone to provide superior support. However, the implant could become loose or unstable if the bonding process or osseointegration doesn't occur correctly. 

When you make an appointment for dental implant repair in Orlando, Dr. Mike will discuss your concerns, take your medical history, and examine your mouth. Depending on the situation, he may also order new X-rays. He will quickly implement the best solution as soon as he has a full scope of your dental implant damage or complication.

Since our dental practice is a state-of-the-art facility with advanced equipment, we can handle any dental implant problem in-house so you won't need to visit different offices to see multiple specialists. Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry and Dr. Mike have plenty of resources and training to repair your damaged dental implant. 

If your implant is failing, you might experience these symptoms:

• Gum inflammation
• Severe pain
• Loose implant
• Receding gums
• Problems biting or chewing
  

Our Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry team can determine the root cause of your dental implant failure through comprehensive visual exams and diagnostic imaging. Your implant could fail for multiple reasons, including the following.

A successful dental implant procedure depends on your bone health and jawbone mass. Insufficient bone density won't allow for osseointegration, which means the implant won't fully bond to the jawbone and remain in place. A bone graft might be necessary to increase bone mass. 

As with any surgery, infection around the implant site is possible. Peri-implantitis is the most common bacterial infection for dental implants. Medication and soft tissue grafts can remedy this infection. 

Failed osseointegration isn't the only reason a dental implant can fail to bond to a jawbone. Improper implant placement, poor-quality materials, and oral trauma during the recovery period can also cause bone bonding problems.
