How to Handle Dental Implant Failures

Have you ever wondered how to handle dental implant failure? Even though dental implants are a minimally invasive procedure, there's still a chance they might fail.

In this article, we will highlight how to identify if the dental implant process failed and how to handle it on many levels. Let's dive into the steps of how to handle dental implants failure.

Signs of Dental Implants Failure

As soon as you finish the operation or shortly after a while, there are specific symptoms you should not ignore and can be signs of dental implants failure, these symptoms include:

Pain

Pain or a mild discomfort is expected on the first couple of days after the process of dental implants and it should subside overtime, but any persistent or throbbing pain is an indicator of something more serious.

Swelling

Just like the pain, swelling is normal and expected for a week following the treatment, but if it continues after a week and it feels hot or red if you touch it, then it could be a sign of an infection which requires intervention.

Bleeding

Bleeding is normal during and after the dental implant procedure, even while brushing or flossing your teeth, but a persistent pain that occurs even if you don't touch the dental implant requires calling the doctor.

Loose Implant

The implant should feel stable and secure, but if you feel like it’s moving while you’re eating food, talking or even not doing anything then it is a sign that it might not have bonded properly with the jawbone.

Gum Recession

The gum tissue should be firmly closing around the implant site, creating a natural shape just like other teeth, but if the gum deteriorates exposing the metal implant then you should immediately call the dentist.

Persistent bad breath

If you develop a bad breath suddenly after the dental implant surgery then this might be a sign of infection in the gum or in the dental implant site which requires calling the doctor.

Difficulty Chewing

After introducing solid food into your diet by the instruction of our doctors, you should be able to eat freely without any pain or a problem, but if you experience any difficulty then you need to contact the dentist.

Numbness or Tingling

In rare cases and if the procedure is performed by an inexperienced doctor, a nerve can get damaged temporarily during the treatment which develops a feeling of numbness or tingling.
