Dental Maintenance & Repairs in Laguna Hills
Protect Your Smile and Keep Your Dental Work in Peak Condition
Whether you’ve had dental work done recently or years ago, one thing remains true—maintenance is essential to keeping your smile healthy, strong, and functional for life. At Laguna Hills Prosthodontics and Implant Center, we don’t just restore smiles—we help protect and maintain them long after treatment is complete.
From routine professional cleanings and implant maintenance to urgent denture repairs and prosthetic adjustments, our team provides comprehensive support to make sure your restorations stand the test of time.
Why Ongoing Maintenance and Repairs Matter
Restorative treatments like dental implants, dentures, crowns, and bridges are a significant investment in your health, confidence, and quality of life. Just like a car needs regular tune-ups to run smoothly, your dental work needs routine care to prevent complications, wear, or premature failure.
Ignoring maintenance can lead to:
- Loosening or cracking of dental prosthetics
- Implant failure due to plaque buildup or bone loss
- Infections around dental implants (peri-implantitis)
- Unnecessary replacement costs
- Decline in bite function, esthetics, or speech clarity
That’s why we offer ongoing maintenance and emergency repair services to keep everything functioning like it should.
Our Maintenance & Repair Services
We provide a full range of services to care for natural teeth, dental implants, and prosthetic restorations, including:
Dental Implant Maintenance & Cleaning
Implants can’t get cavities—but they can still accumulate plaque, harbor bacteria, and suffer from gum disease if not cleaned properly. Our specialized implant maintenance appointments go beyond typical cleanings:
- Use of implant-safe tools to protect the abutments and crown
- Gentle removal of calculus and biofilm around implants
- Screening for signs of peri-implantitis or bone loss
- Verification of bite and implant stability
- Evaluation of surrounding soft tissue health
Routine cleanings and monitoring help ensure your implants stay healthy for the long term.
Routine Dental Cleanings (for Natural Teeth)
Even if you’ve had significant restorative work, your natural teeth still need care. We offer professional cleanings and preventive maintenance that include:
- Thorough plaque and tartar removal
- Periodontal pocket screening
- Polishing and fluoride application
- Oral cancer screening
- Personalized at-home care guidance
These cleanings are recommended every 6 months or as advised based on your gum health.
Denture Repairs & Adjustments
Whether you’ve cracked your denture, experienced wear, or noticed a loose fit, we’re here to help with same-day or next-day service for:
- Cracks, chips, or fractures in dentures
- Loose or unstable dentures
- Replacement of missing teeth in dentures
- Denture relining for better fit
- Sore spot adjustments
We handle both full and partial dentures, and thanks to our in-house lab, many repairs can be completed quickly—without having to send them off.
Crown and Bridge Repairs
Crowns and bridges are durable, but they’re not indestructible. If you notice loosening, chipping, discomfort, or any damage, don’t wait.
We offer:
- Recementing loose crowns or bridges
- Replacing broken or worn materials
- Repairing chips or fractures
- Evaluating the integrity of surrounding teeth
Delaying repairs could lead to bigger issues, including tooth decay under the crown or shifting bite alignment.
Prosthesis Adjustments & Troubleshooting
If you wear removable prosthetics, overdentures, or implant-retained restorations, regular maintenance ensures:
- Proper fit and function
- Prevention of pressure sores or irritation
- Adjustments for changes in jaw shape or bite
- Refitting if needed after weight loss or bone changes
We also perform routine checkups for screw-retained implant crowns or bridges, making sure they remain secure and intact.
Common Signs You May Need Maintenance or Repairs
Don’t ignore the signs—what may start as a small issue can quickly become more serious. Call us if you notice any of the following:
- Clicking, rocking, or loose dental work
- Difficulty chewing or changes in bite
- Pain, irritation, or inflammation around dental implants
- Visible cracks or chips in crowns, dentures, or bridges
- Foul smell or bad taste near prosthetic areas
- Discoloration or buildup around implants or prosthetics
- Bleeding or swollen gums near dental restorations
Even if you’re not sure something is wrong, regular checkups help us catch issues early and prevent major repairs down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions About Maintenance & Repairs
Can I get my denture repaired the same day?
Often, yes! Thanks to our in-house lab, many simple denture repairs can be completed in one visit. We’ll let you know what’s possible after evaluating the damage.
Do dental implants need to be cleaned professionally?
Absolutely. While implants can’t decay, the gums and bone surrounding them can still develop infection (peri-implantitis) if not maintained. Professional implant cleanings are essential.
Is it normal for crowns or bridges to come loose?
It can happen due to cement breakdown or changes in bite alignment. Prompt recementing and evaluation help prevent damage to the underlying tooth.
How do I know if my prosthesis needs to be adjusted?
If it feels loose, causes sore spots, changes your bite, or just doesn’t feel quite right, schedule a visit. Even small adjustments can make a big difference in comfort and function.
