Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are anchored into the jawbone. They\u2019re used to replace missing teeth and prevent future issues with your bite, speech, chewing, and appearance. If you have one or more dental implants that have failed, you might be wondering if it\u2019s worth getting another one. Before making this decision, there are a few things you should know about replacing them. Unfortunately, dental implants don\u2019t always last forever. While they\u2019re extremely reliable and will last for many years with proper care, in some cases they can fail or not take properly as the bone heals around them. There are several reasons why this happens and what your next steps should be after finding out your implant has failed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants can fail due to medical reasons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When people get <\/a>dental implants<\/a>, they\u2019re the same as other surgeries and include risks like infections and blood clots. If you have a medical condition that affects your immune system, dental implants may not be right for you. This is because your body may not be able to fight off a bacterial infection even with antibiotics. If this happens, it can cause your implant to fail. This can also happen if you have a heart valve infection because it can travel to the dental implant and cause it to fail. If you have one or more heart valves, you may be better off with another treatment option since implants are not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n

Implants can fail due to issues during installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the time that your dental<\/a> implant is being put in, your gums may become infected. If they do, they may not heal properly and surrounding gum tissue may shrink, which can make room for the implant. If this happens, your dentist may need to remove the implant and put in one that\u2019s smaller. While this isn\u2019t the end of the world, it does affect how long it will take for your tooth to heal and for your mouth to fully adjust to the new piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
