Assess the situation with your Dental Implant dentist<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first thing that you should do. After learning that one of your implants has failed is to assess the situation. Firstly, you will need to find out exactly what went wrong with the implant. There are several reasons why dental implants fail, but they can be categorised into the following three broad categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implant Infection<\/strong>: Symptoms of dental implant infection include gums that bleed easily when brushing, tender or swollen gums around the implant and increased pocket depth around the implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical condition related to the patient: <\/strong>You will need to get a clear picture of the cause of the implant\u2019s failure in order to know whether you can fix the problem with a new implant or if you need to seek medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start to experience severe pain or discomfort: <\/strong>If your gums are swollen or inflamed, or if your implant starts to become loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can the implant be treated or does it need removal?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you have determined the cause behind the implant\u2019s failure, your dentist can fix it. or remove it altogether. If the implant is causing an infection and is a source of pain for you, then you will want to remove it. However, if the problem is that the implant didn\u2019t fuse properly or there is a fracture in the tooth, then you may want to get a second opinion before making the decision to remove the implant. If the implant is the source of an infection, the best thing to do is to remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n

You will, however, want to make sure that the infection is gone before putting in a new implant. This is because the infection could spread to the adjacent teeth and gums if it is not taken care of properly. You, therefore, need to make sure that you get a thorough cleaning and that the infection is treated properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Implant Dentist second opinion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While we have discussed the reasons why dental implants fail and the options that you have for each of the reasons, it is crucial to remember that every patient is different. This means that although a certain dental implant failure reason may be obvious in your case, it may not be the same for someone else. This is why we recommend that you get a second opinion when dealing with a failed dental implant. This is especially true if you chose to treat the infection first before removing the implant. It is important to get a second opinion in this case, because even though the implant may be the source of the infection, the source of the infection could be something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out why the Implant failed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you will want to find out precisely why the dental implant failed. You might have gotten a second opinion or you may have removed the implant without treating the infection first, but there is a strong chance that you still don\u2019t know why the implant failed. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. The dental implant is not an everyday procedure and doctors are not always able to pinpoint the exact cause of a dental implant failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
