Loose screws are retightened to the certified torque. Broken screws require removal and replacement of the implant. Cemented bridges are removed and re-cemented. Fractured ceramic is repaired with composite or the crown is replaced. If there is bone loss around the implants, revision surgery is needed. Temporary cementation helps in diagnosing underlying problems. Digital scans detect invisible fracture lines in the structure. Repair costs range from €150 (screw) to €3,000+ (new bridge). Preventive maintenance significantly reduces how often repairs are needed.
