Dental Implant Restoration in Meridian, ID

Dental implants are one of the most reliable and durable ways to replace missing teeth—but over time, even the best implant restorations may require repair or replacement. At Aesthetic Smiles in Meridian, ID, we specialize in dental implant restoration to keep your smile strong, healthy, and fully functional. Whether you're dealing with a loose crown, worn-down abutment, or a failing implant from another provider, our experienced team can help evaluate your situation and deliver a long-lasting solution.

What Is Dental Implant Restoration?

Dental implant restoration refers to the process of repairing or replacing the visible part of a dental implant, which may include the crown, bridge, or denture attached to the implant post. While the titanium implant itself is designed to last a lifetime, the restoration above the gum line can wear down over time due to normal chewing forces, trauma, or improper fit.

You might benefit from implant restoration if you experience:

• A loose or damaged implant crown or bridge
• Cracks, chips, or discoloration in your implant restoration
• Discomfort or shifting when biting or chewing
• Signs of infection or gum inflammation around the implant
• An older implant restoration that needs aesthetic improvement

At Aesthetic Smiles, we begin with a detailed assessment to identify the underlying cause and recommend the most effective course of action.

Our Implant Restoration Process

Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation

Using digital X-rays and 3D imaging, Dr. Wade Pilling or Dr. Jordan Pilling will evaluate the integrity of your implant and surrounding bone. This helps determine if the issue lies with the restoration, the abutment, or the implant itself.

Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan

Based on your unique needs, we’ll create a personalized plan. In many cases, we can replace just the damaged crown or bridge without disturbing the implant post.

Step 3: Restoration Replacement or Repair

Your new restoration will be designed to match the color, shape, and function of your natural teeth. We use durable, high-quality materials to ensure long-term success and aesthetic excellence.

A damaged implant restoration can affect more than just your appearance—it can impact your oral health, chewing function, and even the stability of your underlying implant. Timely restoration helps:

• Preserve gum and bone health
• Restore comfort and bite alignment
• Maintain a natural-looking smile
• Prevent further complications or implant failure

Our restorative approach emphasizes precision, patient comfort, and long-term results.

Can you repair an implant crown from another dentist?
Yes. We frequently restore implant crowns placed by other providers and will tailor our solution to your specific implant type and condition.

Is the implant post removed during restoration?
Not usually. Most restorations only involve the visible portion (crown, bridge, or denture), leaving the implant post intact unless it is damaged or compromised.

How long do implant crowns last?
With proper care, implant restorations can last 10–15 years or longer. If you notice signs of wear or discomfort, schedule a visit promptly.

Is implant restoration covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage. We’ll work with your provider to maximize your benefits.

What materials do you use for implant restorations?
We use high-quality materials like porcelain or zirconia, chosen for their durability and ability to mimic the look of natural teeth.
