Repair or Replace Your Implant Restoration with Precision
Dental implants are known for their longevity, but like any dental restoration, they may require maintenance or replacement over time. Whether you’ve noticed a loose crown, discomfort around your implant, or cosmetic concerns, Straight River Family Dental provides expert dental implant restoration to help preserve your investment and restore full function to your smile.
Our experienced team offers both minor adjustments and full replacements of implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures. We also assist patients who received implants at other practices but need high-quality restorative work or follow-up care.
What Is Dental Implant Restoration?
Dental implant restoration refers to the repair or replacement of the visible part of your implant—the crown, bridge, or denture—rather than the implant post itself. It may be needed due to wear and tear, trauma, gum recession, bite changes, or simply the natural aging of dental materials.
Common implant restoration services include:
- Replacing a chipped or worn implant crown
- Reattaching a loose crown or bridge
- Repairing fractures or cosmetic damage
- Refitting implant-supported dentures
- Replacing older restorations with improved materials
Implants are designed to last for decades, and our team is committed to ensuring the restoration above the implant matches that durability and esthetics.
Signs You May Need Implant Restoration
It’s important to address any signs of restoration failure early to avoid complications. You may benefit from implant restoration if you notice:
- Sensitivity or pain around the implant area
- Loosening or movement of the crown or bridge
- Discoloration, cracks, or visible damage to the restoration
- Gum changes, recession, or inflammation near the implant
- Difficulty chewing or changes in bite alignment
Our team will perform a thorough evaluation using advanced imaging, including digital scanners, to diagnose the issue and recommend the most effective solution.
Custom Restorations Built for Strength and Esthetics
We use high-quality materials and digital design to craft restorations that look natural and function reliably. Whether we’re replacing a single crown or reworking a full arch prosthesis, our goal is to deliver results that blend seamlessly with your smile.
Our implant restoration options include:
- All-ceramic crowns for natural translucency and strength
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns for added durability
- Implant-retained bridges for multi-tooth replacements
- Removable and fixed implant dentures customized for comfort
If you're currently wearing a damaged or outdated restoration, we can evaluate whether a simple crown replacement or a more comprehensive treatment plan is best for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Restoration
Can I get an implant crown repaired without replacing the implant?
Yes, in most cases the implant post remains intact. We can often repair or replace just the crown or bridge while leaving the implant undisturbed.
How long does it take to restore a dental implant?
This depends on the issue. A simple crown replacement may take one to two appointments. More complex cases—like re-fitting implant dentures—may take longer due to fabrication time.
Will insurance cover implant restoration?
Coverage varies, especially if the implant was placed by another provider. Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand any costs upfront.
Do you restore implants placed by other dentists?
Yes. Whether your implant was placed locally or out of state, we can evaluate and restore it as needed. We frequently assist patients in maintaining implants received at other practices.
What if my implant restoration doesn’t match my other teeth?
We use modern materials and shade-matching techniques to ensure your restoration looks natural and blends perfectly with your smile.
