How Does Dental Implant Revision Surgery Work?

Dental implant revision typically involves removal of the implant to address issues and places a new implant if necessary. Before undergoing dental implant revision surgery, patients will need to be seen in the office to discuss ad evaluate concerns. To do so, some scans or imaging may be required. Once Dr. Datson has determined why you are experiencing dental implant complications, he and his talented oral surgery staff will formulate a customized treatment plan to treat the issue. Dental implant revision surgery is individualized to meet the needs of each patient. After evaluating the state of your dental implants, Dr. Datson will determine the best plan of action to restore function, alleviate discomfort, or better the aesthetic outcome of your dental implants. The appropriate dental implant complication treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms and how long you have been experiencing dental implant problems.

What Is Dental Implant Revision Surgery?

Dental implants are one of the most advanced tooth restoration techniques, creating a permanent tooth replacement option for beautiful, healthy new teeth. While rare, as with all procedures, dental implants can have a risk of complications. Dental implant revision surgery can address a wide range of problems caused by previously placed dental implants. Dental implant revision surgery can address inflammation or infection around the dental implant, receding gums, jawbone concerns, implant failure, and aesthetic dissatisfaction. Two of the most common reasons patients seek dental implant revision surgery, including failed osseointegration and peri-implantitis. Osseointegration is the process in which the jawbone fuses with the dental implant, providing a secure foundation for dental restoration. Osseointegration failure can be caused by smoking, or poor-quality bone. Peri-implantitis occurs when oral health is poor and bacteria grows rampantly. Peri-implantitis can cause pain, swelling, redness of gums, pain or tenderness, loosening of the implant, and more.

What Are The Benefits Of
Dental Implant Revision Surgery?

By treating dental implant complications as soon as they arise, patients can avoid more serious risks that may be associated with their dental implant problems. For example, treating an infection can stop it from spreading, or repositioning an implant can prevent it from being lost entirely. At Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center, we can correct and remove previously placed implants to restore the look and function of the smile.

Dental implant revision can prevent implants from being lost entirely or replace implants that have already been lost. Because dental implants must undergo a lengthy osseointegration process, or the process in which the jawbone fuses to the implant, losing an implant is not ideal. Dr. Datson offers revision dental implant surgery to prevent and replace lost implants.

Dental implant complications can cause a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms, such as pain, swelling, soreness, difficulty talking or eating, and more. Dental implant revision surgery can locate the source of this discomfort and alleviate it.
