Does it move around whenever you chew or talk? If so, your implant might have failed to heal properly. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovelldental.com\/dental-implants-lovell-wyoming.html\">dental implant<\/a> failure is quite rare, it should be addressed as soon as possible if it does occur. In most cases, the best way to preserve your oral health is to remove your failed dental implants in Lovell. If your dental implant has failed, here\u2019s what you can expect during the treatment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Dental Implant Failure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants can fail for a variety of reasons, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Poor oral hygiene<\/strong> \u2013 The most common cause of dental implant failure is a gum infection called peri-implantitis. When you don\u2019t brush and floss often enough, the gum and bone supporting an implant can deteriorate.<\/li><li><strong>Weak jawbone<\/strong> \u2013 Implants remain in place by merging with the jawbone. Implants that are placed in a thin or weak section of the jawbone have a higher risk of failure. &nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Tobacco use<\/strong> \u2013 Research suggests that as many as one out of every five smokers with a dental implant experiences implant failure.<\/li><li><strong>Medical conditions<\/strong> \u2013 Autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, and other conditions that impair the healing process can prevent successful integration of dental implants.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Your Dentist Removes a Failed Dental Implant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentist must remove a failed dental implant, they\u2019ll do their utmost to preserve as much healthy bone structure as possible. A common method they might use involves a specialized instrument called a trough bur. Your dentist uses this instrument to cut a minimal section of the jawbone along the edge of the implant until it is detached enough to pull loose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, removing a failed dental implant is almost never a painful procedure! Your dentist will make sure you\u2019re relaxed and numb with local anesthetic and possibly sedation before beginning. Additionally, the jawbone doesn\u2019t contain very many nerves that can sense pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Get a New Dental Implant Right Away?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It depends. In order to receive another implant immediately after removing a failed one, you must be free of oral infections and have sufficient healthy jawbone mass near the implant site. Because the most common reason for implant failure is infection, patients usually have to wait a few months to make sure they fully heal. If your jawbone has deteriorated, then your dentist may suggest a bone grafting procedure to strengthen the area of the bone where your new implant will be placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because your dental implant has failed doesn\u2019t mean you have to live with a gap in your grin forever! By working with an experienced implant dentist, you can enjoy having a full and complete smile again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovelldental.com\/meet-our-dentist.html\">Dr. Lance Anderson<\/a> is an implant dentist in Lovell, WY who earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville.
