Dental Implant Restoration in Littleton, CO

Restore the Function and Aesthetics of Your Implant

Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, but like natural teeth, they may need maintenance or repair over time. At Carlson Family Dentistry & Implants, we offer expert dental implant restoration services in Littleton, CO, to ensure your implant-supported crowns, bridges, or dentures continue to function properly and look natural.

Whether your implant restoration is worn, damaged, or no longer fitting as it should, we can evaluate the issue and provide a custom repair or replacement. Our team works with both existing patients and those who received their implants elsewhere, offering reliable solutions that protect your oral health and investment.

What Is Dental Implant Restoration?

Implant restorations refer to the visible part of your dental implant—typically a crown, bridge, or denture—that attaches to the implant post. Over time, these restorations can become loose, cracked, discolored, or damaged. In some cases, the implant itself may be stable, but the prosthetic needs to be repaired or replaced.

Common implant restoration services include:

  • Replacing a chipped or worn crown

  • Refitting or repairing implant-supported dentures

  • Tightening or adjusting abutments and screws

  • Replacing fractured porcelain on bridges or crowns

If you are experiencing discomfort, changes in your bite, or a visible problem with your implant restoration, it's important to schedule an evaluation promptly.

Signs You May Need an Implant Restoration

You might need implant restoration services if you notice any of the following:

  • A loose or shifting implant crown

  • Chipping, cracks, or discoloration in the restoration

  • Pain or discomfort around the implant site

  • Difficulty chewing or biting

  • Gum irritation near the implant

We use advanced diagnostics like digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and digital scanning to assess the condition of your implant and restoration. If necessary, we’ll coordinate with your implant surgeon to ensure a fully integrated treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Restoration

  1. Can you restore implants placed at another office?: Yes. We regularly restore implants that were placed by outside providers and will assess the restoration and implant health before recommending treatment.

  2. How long do implant crowns last?: Implant-supported crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer with proper care, though materials and bite forces can affect their lifespan.

  3. Is implant restoration painful?: Restorative procedures are generally non-invasive and involve minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is used when necessary.

  4. What if the implant itself is damaged?: If the implant post is compromised, we’ll refer you to a specialist and work closely with them to coordinate your care and provide a new restoration afterward.

  5. Can implant restorations be repaired or must they be replaced?: Minor damage may be repaired in-office, but full replacement is often required for long-term success and aesthetics.
