Why Do Dental Implants Fail?
One of the main reasons why dental implants fail is due to peri-implantitis, a bacterial infection that damages the connective tissue around the implant and weakens the supporting jawbone. This condition often results from poor oral hygiene and pre-existing gum disease.
Some other contributing factors include injury, failed osseointegration, and certain medical conditions. To prevent these complications and ensure the long-term success of dental implants, you must maintain diligent oral hygiene, visit your dentist regularly, and address underlying health issues as soon as possible.
Symptoms of a Failed Dental Implant
A dental implant can fail either shortly after surgery or many years later. Keep an eye out for these warning signs that could indicate your implant is compromised:
- Swelling in the gums
- A loose dental implant
- Difficulty chewing or biting down
- Intense discomfort and pain
- Gum recession around the implant
