Dental implant failure is real and sadly happens to more people than you think.
Implants can fail at any stage during the process. In some cases, dental implants fail long term. With that being said, dental implants are the strongest replacement for missing teeth and in most cases, a permanent solution. However, sometimes dental implants fail.
If your dental implants are failing it is time to schedule an appointment with Bela Family Dentistry. With locations in both Georgia and South Carolina you are in the best hands if you are dealing with dental implant failure.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are posts or screws that are surgically placed in or on the jawbone. After the implant has fused to the bone, a process known as osteointegration, artificial teeth are placed on top of the screw.
Why Do Dental Implants Fail?
Dental implant failure happens for several reasons. The first being poor oral hygiene. Called peri-implantitis, this happens when people don’t brush and floss dental implants. While they may be false teeth, they still need to be taken care of just like natural teeth.
Dental implant failure also occurs because of poor planning and poor placement by the implant doctor who executed your surgery.
Regardless of why your dental implants are failing, your dentist in Georgia has a solution.
