Why Do Dental Implants Fail?
The most common cause of dental implant failure is a condition called “peri-implantitis.” This is when bacteria and infection destroy the connective tissue from around the implant. This weakens the supporting jawbone structure. Most of the time, this is due to poor oral hygiene and untreated gum disease. Other issues that can play a role include failed osseointegration, injury, and medical conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes and osteoporosis.
Symptoms of Failed Dental Implants
Dental implant failure isn’t solely a risk after your dental implants have been placed. It can also occur many years into the future. Here are some symptoms that could indicate dental implant failure:
- Pain/discomfort
- Gum recession
- Loose dental implant
- Difficulty chewing
- Gum inflammation
