However, this is not to say that you shouldn\u2019t consider them as an option. They are safe when placed by a qualified dentist.

Some are due to the state of your health, others relate to the type of surgery performed, and still, others have to do with the materials used during the procedure. First, your oral health must be in good shape in order for implants to be effective. You should definitely get rid of any gum disease before putting them in your mouth. If the procedure wasn\u2019t performed correctly, the implants could be damaged and therefore become ineffective.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13399\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5.jpg\" alt=\"dental implants in india\" width=\"351\" height=\"291\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if everything went according to plan, your health could still cause problems in the future. People with weaker immune systems are likely to have more trouble with their implants. Another reason why implants can fail is if you weren\u2019t the right candidate for the procedure in the first place. For example, if you are very young, your gums are unlikely to heal properly from the surgery. Your oral health should be in tip-top shape before pursuing implants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-might-not-be-the-right-candidate\">You might not be the right candidate<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not everyone is a suitable candidate for dental implants, which is something you should take into consideration before pursuing this route. If you have weak gums, are suffering from gum disease, or don\u2019t have enough bone density in your mouth to properly support the implants, they might not work out in the long run. If you have any of these issues, it\u2019s best to see a <a href=\"https:\/\/chiragchamria.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dentist<\/a> and find out if they are the right option for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<p><div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"Are Dental Implants Safe?

If your gums are too weak and you have a poor blood supply to your jawbone, it\u2019s unlikely that your implants will be stable in the long run. According to the International Institute of Biophysics, you should have no signs of gum disease, and your blood flow to the jaw bone should be at least 15% of that to your heart in order for dental implants to be viable.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-surgery-might-have-involved-complications\">Surgery might have involved complications<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with anything that is done by hand, there is a chance that the surgeon might make a mistake. In this case, the implant might not have been placed correctly and could fail to properly fuse with the surrounding bone. In the best-case scenario, the implant would need to be removed and placed again. Also the worst-case scenario, the implant would be so loose that it would need to be removed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8006\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PHOTO-2021-03-19-20-03-44-2-510x510.jpg\" alt=\"oral health hygiene\" width=\"321\" height=\"321\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your dentist or oral surgeon was inattentive during the procedure, the implant might be placed too deeply or shallowly. It could also be placed at an angle that would cause it to be loose and\/or require removal. Even if the surgery was performed properly, the implant might not fuse with your jawbone properly, which is why monitoring the healing process is so important.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-there-may-be-an-infection-causing-the-implant-to-fail\">There may be an infection causing the implant to fail<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is another reason why dental implants fail. Infections are among the most common issues that can affect implants during and after the procedure. You should visit your dentist at least once a year and have your implants checked to make sure they are okay and that there isn\u2019t any inflammation. You should also visit your dentist if you have reason to believe an infection is present.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio 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\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Infections can come from many different sources. The dentist might have not cleaned the area thoroughly enough before and after the procedure. You might also have some bacteria in your mouth, which can travel to your implants. If you have no way of cleaning them regularly, the bacteria might spread to your implants and cause an infection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-procedure-was-correct-but-choice-was-mistaken\">Procedure was correct but choice was mistaken<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The type of implant that you\u2019re given depends on what is currently available in the market. Unfortunately, not all implants are created equal, and it\u2019s possible that the one you received is subpar. The materials used in <a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/\">dental<\/a> implants vary from brand to brand, and it\u2019s possible that the one your dentist used isn\u2019t as effective as it could be.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14535\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/13-2.jpg\" alt=\"dental implant in Delhi\" width=\"428\" height=\"262\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, it\u2019s possible that your dentist used a material that contains traces of mercury. While mercury is undoubtedly toxic, it is sometimes used in dental implants. Unfortunately, mercury can cause a number of troublesome side effects, which is why many dentists have started to use a different type of material.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-re-not-taking-care-of-your-dental-implant-properly\">You\u2019re not taking care of your dental implant properly<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order for your dental implant to succeed, you must take good care of it. Unfortunately, many people don\u2019t take proper care of their implants, which can lead to infection, pain, and them failing completely. The best way to take care of your dental implant is to clean it regularly (at least once a day). First, you should brush your teeth before you go anywhere near your implants. This will help to remove any food particles that might otherwise get stuck in them. You should also use a soft-bristled toothbrush, as hard bristles can damage your implant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<p><div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"Are Dental Implants Painful?

Your dentist can assess your oral health and let you know if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. It\u2019s also important to keep in mind that dental implants are not a one-size-fits-all procedure. Your dentist will need to evaluate your oral health before performing the surgery and determine which type of implant would work best for you. With all that said, dental implants are one of the most effective and long-lasting procedures for replacing missing teeth. With proper care, they can last for many years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-map qubely-block-81ea49\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Royal%20Dental%20Clinic%20%7C%20Same%20Day%20Dental%20Implant%20%26%20Cosmetic%20Treatment%2C%20Kandivali%20Thakur%20Complex%2C%20V%20Mall%2C%20Western%20Express%20Hwy%2C%20Kandivali%20East%2C%20Mumbai%2C%20Maharashtra%20400101&amp;t=&amp;z=16&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;iwloc=&amp;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350px\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dental implants have evolved quite a bit in the last few decades for oral health.
