Why Do Dental Implants Fail?
The most common cause of dental implant failure is called “peri-implantitis.” This is when bacteria and infection damage the connective tissue from around the implant, weakening the supporting jawbone structure. In most cases, this is caused by poor oral hygiene and untreated gum disease. Other ways that dental implants can fail include injury, failed osseointegration, and certain medical conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes.
Symptoms of Failed Dental Implants
Dental implant failure doesn’t always happen soon after dental implants have been placed. Failure can also occur many years after you’ve had your dental implants. Here are some symptoms to be on the lookout for:
- Pain and discomfort
- Gum recession around the implant
- Loose dental implant
- Difficulty chewing
- Gum inflammation
