After dental<a href=\"http:\/\/implantdentalindia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> implant surgery<\/a>, there is the potential for an implant to become loose.

The first thing to understand is that loosening of the implant is more likely to occur in the first year after implant placement, when the bone is still forming around the implant. This is a normal part of the healing process; however, if the implant comes loose before that first year is up, this indicates a problem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius: 2px; background-color: #ba0c49; color: #fffffa;\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" style=\"border-radius: 2px; color: #ba0c49;\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>This could be due to a number of factors, including: <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>The implant or the abutment of the implant is not the right size for your mouth\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>The bone density is not thick enough\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>An infection has occurred at the implant site\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>The implant placed in a bad position\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>The bone adequate for the implant\r\n\r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>There was insufficient healing time for the bone <a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/dental-implants-guide-royal-implant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">before the implant<\/a> was placed<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-what-to-do-if-your-implant-is-coming-loose\" class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">What to do if your implant is coming loose?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think your dental implant is coming loose, there are a few steps you can take to try and prevent the problem from worsening.
