Implant Care: Monitoring, Maintenance & Repair

• Dentist reviews: every 6–12 months, including bite checks and X-rays.

• Hygienist visits: every 3–6 months, tailored to your gum health.

• Bite assessment: after any new crown, bridge, or retainer, we check that the bite is balanced. Overloading an implant is a common cause of mechanical complications.

Possible solutions include:

• Tightening or replacing a screw
  
  
• Cleaning and re-cementing a crown
  
  
• Adjusting or replacing an abutment
  
  
• Ordering specific implant parts and scheduling follow-up visits

• The implant brand and model
  
  
• Your implant certificate or treatment records
  
  
• Whether your crown is screw-retained or cemented, and if cemented, which cement was used

👉 If you don’t have access to your implant certificate, please provide as much information as possible. These details are essential in case we need to contact the implant company’s representative to order the correct components, drivers, or tools.

• £120 consultation fee – includes assessment, advice, and small radiograph
  
  
• £180 – screw tightening or re-cementation (when feasible)

• £1,400 – new screw-retained implant crown and abutment replacement (if the existing abutment/crown cannot be reused)
  
  
• + Any implant components or laboratory charges where applicable

🔔 Please note: repeated problems may require re-charging, as they often indicate biomechanical fatigue or overload of implant components.
