While dental implants are highly successful, failures can occasionally occur. This may result from factors such as oral health issues, disease progression, or complications during the implant placement process. At Complete Dental Care of Atlantis, Florida, we specialize in diagnosing and treating implant problems to restore functionality and ensure long-term success.
What Are Common Causes for Dental Implant Failure?
Dental implants can fail for a variety of reasons. The most common causes of dental implant failure include:
- Smoking – Reduces blood flow, slowing healing and increasing the risk of complications.
- Insufficient Bone Structure – Lack of adequate bone to support the implant.
- Implant-Related Gum Disease – Infections such as peri-implantitis can lead to implant failure.
- Poor Oral Hygiene – Neglecting proper care can result in infections and implant instability.
- Disease Progression – Conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis may affect healing and implant success.
- Improper Planning During Installation – Poor positioning or placement can compromise the implant’s stability and function.
We thoroughly evaluate each patient to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcome for dental implants.
