A failing dental implant usually announces itself in one of two ways. Early failure, within the first few months, means the implant never integrated with the bone; it feels loose or stays persistently sore. Late failure, years after placement, usually means bone has been lost around an integrated implant, most often from peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition driven by plaque accumulation around the implant.
Assessment starts with imaging to see how much bone remains around the implant and whether infection is present. Some cases can be treated without removing the implant, using decontamination and grafting to arrest the bone loss. Others need the implant out, the site allowed to heal, and usually bone grafting before a replacement can be attempted, which adds several months to the timeline.
We treat implants placed elsewhere. Patients who had work done cheaply, out of state, or abroad sometimes struggle to find anyone willing to assess it, and that's how a manageable problem becomes an unmanageable one. Bring whatever records and imaging you have. Our complications guide covers what typically goes wrong and what raises the risk.
Technician insight
Most late implant failures we see were preventable with hygiene. The crown can't decay, so patients relax, and the tissue attachment around an implant is weaker than around a natural tooth. That combination is what peri-implantitis feeds on.
