As one of the most effective solutions to\nreplace missing teeth, you can likely expect your implants to last for many\nyears to come. However, you should be aware that there is always a slight\nchance of implant failure. Knowing the signs of failed dental implants is\nimportant in order to know when to seek proper dental care. Today\u2019s blog will\ncover everything you need to know about dental implant failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Signs of Implant Failure <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s cut right to the chase. Here are 5 signs that your\ndental implant is failing and you should contact a dentist right away: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>#1: Wobbly feeling near the implant, especially\nwhen chewing or talking<\/li><li>#2: Sensitivity when putting pressure on the\nimplant when biting, smiling or chewing<\/li><li>#3: Difficulty chewing properly <\/li><li>#4: Gum inflammation, swelling or recession near\nthe implant<\/li><li>#5: Severe pain near the implant site <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Dental Implant Failure? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implant failure can occur for a variety of reasons,\nsuch as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Insufficient jawbone <\/strong><strong>depth or strength<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Gum disease<\/strong> <\/li><li><strong>Smoking tobacco<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Poor dental hygiene <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Autoimmune diseases<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Failed Dental Implants Be Treated? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that a failed dental implant does not\nautomatically mean you are doomed to having a gap in your smile once again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentist determines the implant needs to be replaced,\nhe or she will easily be able to remove it with the help of local anesthesia. After\ncleaning the area, they will inspect the jawbone where the implant was to\ndetermine if enough bone remains for another dental implant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If significant bone loss has occurred, your dentist may\nrecommend a bone graft for the site to help rebuild and strengthen the bone.\nAlthough the healing period following a bone graft procedure can take several\nmonths, strengthening the jawbone will help prevent future implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid Implant Complications <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have yet to begin implant treatment, there are some\nsimple yet important steps you can take to ensure your dental implants remain a\npart of your smile for many years to come. Here are a few: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Talk to your dentist before the implant\nplacement to learn about risk factors that can limit the success of your\nimplants.<\/li><li>Inform your dentist of any medical conditions or\nmedications that may affect the healing process. <\/li><li>Practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice\ndaily and flossing once a day. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although rare, implant failure can occur \u2013 so it\u2019s important\nto know what steps to take.
