Getting a dental implant is one of the best investments you can make in your oral health. With dental implants, you and your dentist play essential roles in the success of the treatment. The success or failure of the implant is dependent on each party's skills and cooperation. Dentists should always be cautious when performing any dental procedure that requires a high level of precision and skill, which is why it's essential to find an experienced dentist. Potential complications might arise at any stage of the dental implant procedure, so it is vital to choose an experienced surgeon for it to be successful.  The following are the signs of a failed dental implant.  Trouble chewing  When there is pain or sensitivity when biting, it may be caused by an infection or the implant has not achieved complete and successful bonding with your jaw bone.  Infection Peri-implantitis is a severe condition that, if left untreated, could cause the loss of dental implants. More severe cases can cause bleeding and pus to form in addition to swelling; more advanced cases can lead to bone loss. Due to the rapid progression of symptoms, people with prior aggressive periodontal disease are especially susceptible to this infection.  Gum recession  If a dental implant doesn't fit well, it will likely lead to gum recession, often irreversible. Poor positioning of the implants may put unnecessary stress on your gums and bone tissue. The implant's failure may be signified by an abnormally long crown, after which you will feel pain in the surrounding tissue. To achieve the proper placement, your surgeon must ensure that it is positioned correctly by using digital dental implant diagnostics.  Swollen gums  It is not uncommon to have pain or swelling after this type of procedure. Still, it can become a more significant issue if the pain persists and becomes inflamed. Swollen and red gums are a sign of an infection. If inflammation remains untreated, it can lead to other more severe health conditions such as blood infections. A serious illness that becomes severe if left untreated Fighting a severe infection can be difficult if the pain is intense; therefore, it's crucial to treat the swelling early on. If the swelling lasts longer than expected, contact your dentist as soon as possible. Implant getting loose Many people who have had a dental implant typically don't notice anything different. When everything goes well, you may not even be aware that the tooth in your mouth is an artificial one. When you feel that your implant is wiggling when speaking, eating or touching, it's a sign that something may be wrong. It could have cracks or loose attachments that might need to be evaluated by the dentist for them to make an appropriate diagnosis. So if this happens, please contact your dental practitioner for an appointment so it can be attended to immediately. Ignoring poorly fitted dental implants can lead to terrible consequences and cause damage to the jawbone and surrounding gums.  Experiencing extreme pain or discomfort Pain is a common feeling during dental implant surgery. However, the pain might also signify that your new teeth are not working as they should, so it is essential to watch for other signs like swollen tissue or an increase in bleeding when you brush and floss near the implant site. As your implant progresses through the healing process, you should expect pain. It can usually be managed with over-the-counter medicine prescribed by a doctor. If your implant fails, you'll be in intense pain. This type of failure could cause prolonged agony for days. If this happens to you, make sure you visit the dental office right away.
