Dental Implant Restoration in Palo Alto, CA

What Is Dental Implant Restoration?

Dental implant restoration is the process of rebuilding or replacing the top portion of a dental implant, usually the crown, bridge, or denture, after the implant has been surgically placed in the jawbone. This step restores both the functionality and appearance of your smile, making it complete again. Whether you’ve recently received a new implant, need an update, or have had the implant in place for years, our goal is to help you regain comfort and confidence in your smile.

When Might You Need a Dental Implant Restoration?

You may need a dental implant restoration in a variety of situations, such as:

Cracked, chipped, or loosened crowns or bridges

Over time, wear and tear can lead to damage that affects both the look and function of your implant. 

Uncomfortable or unstable implants

If your implant restoration no longer feels secure, it may need to be adjusted or replaced.

Tips to Keep Your Implant Restoration in Top Shape

Caring for your dental implant restoration doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are a few simple steps to follow:

Avoid harmful habits
