Treatment of Failed Dental Implants | Burbank, CA
Dental implants are usually very successful, but sometimes they can fail. If that happens, we can help. At BrightCrafts Dental, we replace failed implants with new ones.
✓ Dental implant failures are rare, with a 95% success rate.
✓ If you experience a failed implant, we offer replacement at BrightCrafts Dental.
✓ Dental implants consist of three key components: a titanium implant inserted into the bone, an abutment, and a crown aligned with your natural teeth.
✓ Any breakage or loosening of these components can result in potential issues leading to implant failure.
✓Dental implants, though made of metal, rely on osseointegration, a natural process where living cells form around the implant, securely anchoring it to your jawbone.
✓ With time, healthy bone envelops the implant, signifying the success of the procedure.
✓ Sometimes, inadequate osseointegration can lead to post-implantation complications.
If you recently had dental implants but you’re worried that the implants have failed but not sure what to look out for, here are some signs that indicate implant failure.
✓ Severe pain and discomfort lasting an extended amount of time
✓ Receding gums around the implant
✓Difficulty chewing or biting or talking
✓ Shifting or loose implants
✓ Allergic reactions such as loss of taste, swelling around the gums and a tingling sensation. If you notice any of these allergic symptoms, please reach out to a trusted dentist right away.
Common reasons dental implants fail include:
✓Advanced or untreated periodontal issues
✓ Inadequate oral hygiene practices
✓ Flawed impressions during the process
✓ Implant misalignment concerns
✓ Inadequate jawbone support
✓ Smoking habits
✓ Persistent teeth grinding (Bruxism)
✓ Health conditions like cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases
✓ Specific medications that affect bone growth, including some antidepressants
✓ Inadequate or incomplete medical history records

If you recently had dental implants but you’re worried that the implants have failed but not sure what to look out for, here are some signs that indicate implant failure.
✓ To assess your situation, we’ll request your medical and dental history.
✓ An oral examination will help us evaluate the condition of the implants.
✓ If tartar or plaque is present, we’ll perform a thorough cleaning.
✓ Under local anesthetic, we’ll remove the failed dental implant.
✓ If the bone remains healthy, a bone graft won’t be necessary.
✓ In cases of bone loss, we may place a bone graft to improve healing conditions.
✓ The healing process typically lasts up to 6 months before a new implant can be installed.
✓ Throughout the healing period, we’ll discuss the risk factors that led to implant failure and how to manage them.
