Dental Implant Repairs in Midland Park, NJ

With a success rate of 95%, dental implants are one of the most popular and successful ways to replace missing or damaged teeth. However, there are a small number of implant procedures that eventually fail. Failure can occur during the initial healing phase or years later. Signs your implants are failing may include:

• Bleeding
• Persistent pain
• Pus around the implants
• Swollen gums
• Gum recession
• Exposure of the implant
• Jawbone loss
• Loose implants

When faced with the news that your implants are failing, and the prospect of removal or replacement looms, the specialists at Ridgewood Periodontal & Implant Associates offer a reassuring alternative. With our expertise, we can often repair your implants, restore your oral health, and ensure years of fully functioning implants.

The Implant Repair Process

At your first appointment, we will use digital imaging and X-rays to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the implants, the surrounding soft tissues, and the jawbone. We will then discuss your repair options and create a detailed treatment plan.

Your personalized treatment plan will typically include using a cold saline solution to debride and sterilize the implants. After this, we will use growth factors and bone grafting to replace bone loss around the implants. The bone grafts stimulate new jawbone growth, encouraging new osseointegration to stabilize the implants. We may also include antibiotic treatment, laser therapy, or gum grafting using soft tissue from the roof of the mouth.

Each implant repair procedure is unique and requires an in-depth evaluation to determine the extent of the damage and the overall health of the surrounding bone and tissues. Repairing implants is often less expensive and invasive than removing or replacing them. Implant repair can also provide long-term benefits, lasting for years and giving you many more years of enjoying a strong, healthy smile and oral health.
