Resolve Issues Affecting Implant Success With a Surgical Procedure
Dental implant revision surgery may be recommended when a dental implant develops complications or does not achieve the desired outcome.
In some cases, an implant may have been placed in a less-than-ideal position. Other patients experience bone loss, tissue changes, discomfort, or functional concerns that affect chewing and speaking.
Every situation is unique. That's why a thorough evaluation is essential before treatment begins.
Using advanced digital imaging and 3-D scans, your surgeon can assess the implant, surrounding bone, and soft tissues to determine the cause of the problem. This detailed information helps guide treatment and improve the likelihood of a successful outcome.
Depending on your needs, revision surgery may involve correcting the implant position, rebuilding lost bone, improving gum tissue support, or preparing the area for additional treatment.

This precise approach allows us to address existing concerns while helping preserve healthy bone and tissue whenever possible.
Patient comfort is also a priority throughout treatment. IV sedation is available to help you relax during your procedure.
