Why Do Dental Implants Fail?
The most common reason behind dental implant failure is a condition known as “peri-implantitis.” This occurs when bacteria and infection destroy the connective tissues from around the implant, weakening the supporting jawbone structure. In most scenarios, this is due to poor oral hygiene and gum disease that has been left untreated. Other factors that play a role include injury, failed osseointegration, and some medical conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes.
Symptoms of Failed Dental Implants?
Dental implant failure doesn’t always occur right away after placement. It can also happen many years after you’ve had your implants. Here are some symptoms you should always be mindful of:
- Pain and discomfort
- Gum recession around the implant
- Loose dental implant
- Difficulty chewing
- Gum inflammation around the implant
