Failing Dental Implants

Best Smile Implant Dentistry

Dental Precision in a Pampering,
Spa-Like Environment

Dental Implants are indeed one of the best treatments for missing teeth, but sometimes they can fail too. Dental implant failure can occur due to various reasons like your general health, the treatment procedure, or post-process care. If you do not take enough care of your teeth post the process, gum diseases can occur, leading to tooth decay which would loosen your teeth. Also, in some cases, adequate bone formation around the implant site doesn’t happen, which can lead to implant failure. No matter the reason behind your implant failure, the dentist at Best Smile can help you with it. Talk to us today if you are facing issues with the implants.

What are the signs of a failed dental implant?

Dental implant failure occurs when your jawbone does not grow around the implant properly, mainly indicated by mobility issues. You would feel a wobbly implant as you speak or eat. One of the prominent signs of a dental implant is that it would move consistently.

Some other indications of the failure are:

  • Pain

  • Swelling

  • Infection

During your regular check-up, your dentist would also check the implants. If they notice that the equipment is quite mobile, it would indicate a failure, and the experts would proceed with the necessary treatment.

The Treatment

The treatment for dental implant failure depends on the reason behind it. If your dental implants have failed due to poor oral hygiene, our dentist will take care of that and will also guide you to maintain dental health in the future. Similarly, our dentist might suggest you get bone graft surgery in case of inadequate bone formation around the implant. Depending on the damage level, you might need a crown removal or replacement.

If you feel your gums have swollen or inflamed and face issues with your implants, do not delay contacting us. We have our dental offices located in Pembroke Pines and Miramar, FL.
