Improper Placement

If you are having dental implants by the hands of an inexperienced surgeon, then you might possibly develop the condition of misplacement of the implant which needs medical intervention eventually.

Peri-implantitis

This is a case of inflammation of the tissues surrounding the implant, it is usually manageable with medications but may lead to bone loss if left untreated.

Sinus Perforation

If you install a dental implant in your upper jaw too close to the sinus cavity then it might develope into a perforation which may cause further serious complications.

Nerve Damage

Nerve damage is an uncommon complication of dental implant process, it leads to numbness and tingling in the lips, tongue or sometimes the whole side of the face, it is temporary but may need the doctor’s help.

Bone Loss

Although the process of dental implants requires waiting for about 5 months for the bone and implant fusion, this fusion may not be completed in rare cases which lead to bone loss overtime.

Allergic Reactions

Many people develop certain kinds of allergies to the different substances used during the whole treatment, it could be the crowns, the implant or even the anesthetic.

Damage of the Nearby Teeth

Working without precision and patience may cause an injury to the nearby teeth or even the blood vessels, which leads to inflammation and other complications.

Prolonged Healing Time
