Signs You May Need Dental Implant Restorations in Knoxville
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it may be time to schedule a consultation with Dr. Young:
- Your implant crown or denture feels loose or unstable
- The restoration is cracked, chipped, or discolored
- You’re experiencing discomfort, pressure, or sensitivity around the implant
- Your bite feels off or uneven
- Your restoration no longer matches surrounding teeth in color or shape
At The Dental Implant Center, we’ll thoroughly evaluate your implant and the restoration to determine the best course of action—a simple repair or a complete replacement.
What to Expect During the Restoration Process
Restoring an existing dental implant is often faster and simpler than placing a new one. Since the implant post is already integrated into your jawbone, we typically only need to address the restoration itself. Here’s what you can expect:
- Evaluation and Consultation: Dr. Young will assess your current implant and restoration. This may include digital imaging and 3D scans to ensure the implant is healthy and properly integrated.
- Custom Design: Whether it’s a new crown, bridge, or denture, we’ll design a restoration that fits comfortably, functions properly, and blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- In-House Fabrication or Lab Coordination: Depending on the complexity of your case, your new restoration may be fabricated in-house or sent to a trusted partner lab. Either way, we ensure the highest standards of quality and aesthetics.
- Attachment and Final Fitting: Once your new restoration is ready, we’ll carefully attach it to your existing implant(s) and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
