If you are experiencing difficulty with your dental implants, call (707) 709-6058 and schedule an appointment. Refrain from self-diagnosing a problem with your dental fixture, and consult with our team for practical solutions. We understand the factors that can damage orthodontic implants, causing further irritation and dental challenges. Let us examine your teeth and gums to confirm if you need dental implant restoration or a new fixture.
What are the Most Common Problems Associated with Dental Implants?
Calistoga Dental Group recommends dental implants because of their high success rate. Depending on the dentist you see, the success rate can reach 99 percent.
In the event of a problem, your dental implant might become loose, or the crown (tooth portion) might crack or fall off. If this happens, we can quickly repair the damage and resolve the issue.

What Causes Dental Implants to Become loose?
If your implant has become loose, it may be because osseointegration - the process where the titanium fuses with your jawbone - never occurred. When this happens, the bone doesn't form around the implant to secure it like a tooth's natural root. The stability of your implant also depends on your jawbone remaining strong and healthy. To prevent future loosening, call us right away if you notice any signs of gum disease. Pay attention to symptoms like redness, swelling, or bleeding gums before booking us for consultation. Likewise, if you experience a toothache, visit us for treatment without delay to avoid an infection that could affect your jawbone.
How We Repair Your Dental Implant?
The condition of your implant will determine how we should proceed. For example, if you find signs of damage or cracks on the dental crown, we replace it without removing the titanium post. Besides, we encourage patients to bring any fallen-out tooth for further inspection. At Calistoga Dental Group, we prefer a quick and minimally invasive way to restore your implant. If you need a new crown, the laboratory will create one for us to attach firmly to the abutment on your implant.
If your implant fails, we can move to other advanced steps. First, removal might need to be done surgically. Depending on the state of your jawbone, a bone graft could be necessary for the successful placement of an implant. If your jawbone has enough density, it is possible to place an implant successfully.
What is the Best Way to Treat a Fractured Dental Implant?
We examine the bonding material to determine if restoration attempts on your fractured implant can be fruitful. If we cannot, we may recommend replacing the crown.

We can begin with an evaluation to determine the underlying dental issues and their magnitude. This assessment will involve a physical examination and X-rays to determine the density of your jawbone. Subsequently, we'll let you know if we can assist you or if another Calistoga specialist is more appropriate. Here at Calistoga Dental Group, our main priority is maintaining your oral health and guaranteeing access to the right treatments.
