Dental Implant Restoration in Greensboro, NC
Dental implants are changing the way people replace or restore missing teeth. The implants themselves, placed in the jawbone by an oral surgeon, support restorations such as dental crowns or bridges that resemble natural teeth. Designed and created with attention to detail and a delicate touch, these restorations can so closely resemble natural teeth in terms of appearance, texture, and function that no one will be able to tell the difference.
Dr. Civils is well-known for creating dental implant restorations made of the highest quality materials. Whether restoring a single dental implant or designing a full arch of replacement teeth, Dr. Civils has the knowledge and artistic eye to create and place perfectly fitted restorations that will give you a beautiful, functional smile that can last for decades.
Dr. Civils works closely with several oral surgeons in the area, collaborating to ensure your dental implant process goes smoothly from the initial surgery to the final fitting of your permanent restoration.
When you first have dental implants placed, you will naturally need dental implant restorations to complete the steps required to “finish the process.” Once we have attached your custom restorations to the implants, you will have the beautiful, comfortable smile you’ve always dreamed of.
Signs You Need Your Dental Implants Restored
Although your implants may last for decades, a dental restoration experiences daily wear and tear that can gradually wear down the restoration (much like natural teeth). You may also crack, chip, break, or lose a restoration. If any of these occur, please contact us immediately and retain any pieces of the damaged restoration, if possible, to bring with you to an emergency appointment. In most cases, we can repair or replace an implant restoration without having to remove the implant.
Some signs you need your dental implant restorations replaced or repaired include:
- A loose or shifting restoration, especially when biting down.
- Pain or aching in the jaw near the implant(s) site.
- Changes in the gums, including bleeding, gum recession, redness, or swelling around the base of the implant.
- Any visible cracks, chips, or uneven wear of the restorations.
- Difficulty eating with your restorations.
- Feeling as though your teeth are out of alignment.
- Persistent unpleasant taste or bad breath from around the implant.
