Implant Problems & Implant Rescue in Clifton, NJ

A Thoughtful Approach to Implant Complications, Enjoy Life with Confidence.

When an implant, crown, bridge or implant-supported restoration is causing problems, the right next step starts with understanding what happened. Our team evaluates your symptoms, existing implant work, bone, bite and restorative needs to develop a carefully coordinated plan based on your individual situation.

What Are Implant Problems & Implant Rescue?

Implant problems can involve discomfort, looseness, changes in your bite, damage to a restoration, gum or bone concerns, or an implant that is no longer functioning as expected. Implant rescue focuses on evaluating the underlying issue and determining whether the existing implant or restoration can be treated, repaired or replaced.

Every case is different. We consider your oral health, implant history, bone, bite and restorative needs before recommending the appropriate next step.
