Process

Comprehensive Evaluation:

We begin with a thorough implant checkup to assess your implants, crowns, surrounding gum tissue, and bite alignment.

Digital Imaging:

X-rays or 3D scans help us detect hidden issues like bone loss, implant shifting, or potential infections early.

Implant Cleaning:

We perform a detailed cleaning using specialized tools designed for implants, which won't scratch their surfaces.

Component Check & Adjustments:

We examine and tighten any parts, making minor adjustments to prevent wear or discomfort.

Repair Recommendations:

If your implant or crown is damaged, we plan and perform the appropriate repair or replacement.

Ongoing Monitoring:

We schedule follow-up visits and provide at-home care tips to keep your implants healthy and avoid future problems.

How do I maintain a dental implant long term?

Daily brushing and flossing around the implant, along with regular checkups and cleanings, are essential to keeping the surrounding gum and bone tissue healthy.

Can a dental implant fail or need repair?

While implants have a high long term success rate, issues like gum infection around the implant or loosening of the crown can occur and typically require prompt attention.

What are the warning signs that an implant needs attention?

Look out for swelling, discomfort, looseness, or bleeding around the implant site, any of which should prompt a visit so we can evaluate and address the issue early.

How often should implants be checked during routine visits?

We recommend checking implants at every regular exam, generally every six months, to monitor the surrounding bone and gum tissue for any changes.

Can the crown on an implant be replaced without redoing the whole implant?

Yes, in most cases the crown portion can be repaired or replaced on its own, since the implant post itself remains securely integrated in the bone below.

With proper care and expert support, your dental implants can serve you for life. At A&A Dental Implant and Cosmetic Center, we’re here to make sure they continue to perform at their best.
