If you\u2019ve recently had a dental implant procedure<\/a>, you know how much it can benefit your life. Dental implants are an excellent tooth loss solution, providing patients with a stable and attractive smile restoration. One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is their incredibly low failure rate. However, just because the odds are low, doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how will you know? Read on to learn the signs of dental implant failure so you can take preventive action if the need arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tooth Mobility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious sign of a failing dental implant is a wiggly or mobile prosthetic. Healthy dental implants should feel stable and secure in the mouth. If you notice any movement or mobility of the implant, it could be a sign of implant failure. Implant mobility may indicate inadequate osseointegration, implant fracture, or other complications that require immediate attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swelling and Inflammation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Swelling and inflammation around the gums near the dental implant are some of the more noticeable signs of possible dental implant failure. Inflammation may be accompanied by redness, tenderness, or warmth in the affected area. This could signify peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition caused by a buildup of food particles around the implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain or Discomfort<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Persistent pain or discomfort around the dental implant site could be a sign of implant failure. There may be throbbing, aching, or sharp pain which are indicators of issues like infection, nerve damage, or implant loosening. Over-the-counter pain medication can help in the short term, but you should seek your dentist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum Recession<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gum recession around the dental implant can expose the implant’s attachment point, the abutment. This exposes the implant to more bacteria which can cause an infection leading to implant failure. Gum recession often occurs due to aggressive brushing but may also happen due to improper implant placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you experience any of these signs or symptoms associated with dental implant failure, it’s important to contact your dentist. While these signs aren\u2019t an absolute certainty that your dental implants are failing, early detection can protect your investment. In a case like this, it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry. Your dentist can help you address issues and keep your implants healthy and strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
