Revolutionize Your Smile Series : A Guide to Treating Loose Implant Screws

Welcome to Revive Smiles Dentistry, where the health and beauty of your smile are our top priorities. In this brief guide, we'll walk you through the process of treating a loose implant screw and highlight the expert care we offer to ensure your smile remains vibrant and healthy.

Understanding Loose Implant Screws: What Causes Loose Implant Screws?

The initial step involves determining whether the implant or implant screw is indeed loose. Several factors can contribute to loose implant screws, such as normal wear and tear, improper placement, or changes in the jawbone. Recognizing these causes is the first crucial step toward effective treatment.

A common cause of loose implant screws is heavy occlusion on the implant crown, or even an improperly designed restoration. At Revive Smiles Dentistry, our approach involves careful consideration. If needed, we may discuss the replacement of the crown and the crown abutment, potentially requiring drilling through the crown, a procedure that demands meticulous attention to avoid damaging the restoration.

The Importance of Timely Treatment: Why Act Promptly?

Prompt treatment is imperative to prevent further complications. Ignoring a loose implant screw can lead to discomfort, potential infection, and jeopardize the stability of the implant. Delaying treatment increases the risk of damaging the implant or screw, potentially rendering them unusable for future crown placement. Bone loss may also occur if the issue is left unaddressed. Our priority is to mitigate these risks and preserve the integrity of your smile.
