Why Do Dental Implants Fail?
Your dental implants rely on healthy gum and bone tissue to keep them secured in place. If the tissues around your implant posts become infected, they can deteriorate over time, which can ultimately result in dental implant failure.
There are a few other possible explanations for a failed dental implant:
- The implant post may not have been able to form a lasting bond with the jawbone.
- The implant post or the area around it may have been damaged in an accident.
- Your body’s ability to support dental implants may have been compromised by diabetes or another kind of medical condition.
Symptoms of Failed Dental Implants
There are several potential warning signs of a failed dental implant. You should call our office immediately if you notice:
- Severe pain around the implant site.
- An implant post that has come loose or has fallen out of the mouth entirely.
- Symptoms of infection such as bleeding or swollen gums.
- Increased difficulty using your dental implants to chew.
How Dental Implant Salvage Works
When you turn to our team for dental implant salvage, we’ll begin by examining your mouth and figuring out what the true source of the problem is. Once we have a firm grasp on what’s going on, we can create a plan for getting your oral health back on track.
In some cases, it may be possible to treat the problem while leaving your dental implants where they are. However, if the implant posts or the tissues around them are badly damaged, removing them may be the best option. Once your mouth is healthy again, we can discuss the possibility of placing new dental implants.
