Dental implant repair & restoration in Arlington, VA
Already have a dental implant? At Atelier Opal Dental, we restore, repair, and replace the crowns, bridges, and dentures that sit on top of your implants. Whether your implant needs its first restoration or an older crown has loosened, chipped, or worn down, we’ll help you get back to a comfortable, natural-looking smile.

What are implant restorations?
A dental implant has two parts: the post set in the jawbone and the restoration attached to it. The restoration is the crown, bridge, or denture you see and chew with. That visible part takes on the daily wear, so it’s the part most likely to need attention over the years. At Atelier Opal Dental, we design new restorations for implants and repair or replace existing ones. We use digital scans and careful shade matching to make sure everything fits precisely and blends with your smile.

The benefits of implant restorations
A thoughtfully designed restoration brings your implant to life, restoring both the look and the function of your smile.
Protect your investment
Addressing a loose or damaged restoration early helps protect your implant and the tissues around it.
Comfortable, confident chewing
A properly fitted restoration restores a stable bite, so you can eat and speak without worry.
A smile that looks like yours
New restorations are custom-shaded and shaped to match your natural teeth.
The implant restoration process
Consultation and evaluation
Your visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation, during which we assess your implant, the surrounding gums, and your bite to determine what your restoration needs. We’ll take digital scans and X-rays to understand the condition of your implant and plan your treatment precisely.
Custom design
Next, we use precise digital impressions to design a restoration tailored to your smile. We carefully match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth so your new crown, bridge, or denture blends seamlessly and fits comfortably with your bite.
Fitting and follow-up
Once your restoration is ready, we secure it to your implant and fine-tune your bite to make sure everything feels natural. We’ll walk you through how to care for your restoration so it stays strong, comfortable, and beautiful for years to come.
