IMPLANT repair

Dental implants are long-lasting dental interventions, but they aren’t indestructible! Just like your natural teeth, implants are susceptible to daily wear and tear, and can become damaged, loose, or dislodged. At DC Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we are able to provide dental implant repair so that you can continue enjoying your fully restored smile, even when something unexpected affects your dental implant.

how long does Dental Implant repair take?

repairing dental implants in Washington, DC

The amount of time it takes to repair a dental implant will depend on the type and severity of damage. Minor damage, such as a small crack or chip, can usually be repaired with a simple in-office procedure that takes just a few minutes. More significant damage may require surgery to remove and replace the implant, which can take several hours.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implant Repairs?

There are many benefits to choosing to repair your dental implant, including maintaining your beautifully-restored smile. Implant repair can also:

Save money in the long run. Dental implants are a long-term investment in your smile, and repair is usually more affordable than replacement.

Avoid implant removal and replacement surgery. In some cases, implant removal and replacement surgery may be necessary if implants are not repaired in a timely manner. This type of surgery is usually more invasive and requires a longer recovery time than implant repair.

Preserve your natural jawbone. Implant removal can lead to bone loss in the jaw, but implant repair can help to avoid this issue.

What To Expect During a Dental Implant Repair Procedure

The type of dental implant repair you need will depend on the extent of damage to your implant. Minor damage, such as a small crack or chip, can usually be repaired with a simple in-office procedure. More significant damage may require surgery to remove and replace the implant. If the crown is damaged, it will need to be replaced. In some cases, the implant itself may be undamaged, and only the crown will need to be replaced.


If you have damage to your implant that is causing pain or making it difficult to eat or speak, you may need a procedure called “implant removal and replacement surgery.” This type of surgery is usually more invasive than repair, and requires a longer recovery time.
