If you feel worse with your new dental implants than before when you had missing teeth, your dental implant may be one of the very few 2% with implant failure.<\/p>\n

There are a few main reasons why dental implants can fail. Thankfully, your dentist can help you address your dental issue, making your dental implant the effective tooth replacement you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why Dental Implants May Fail<\/h2>\n

Dental implant placement is relatively simple, but there are a few factors that can make your oral surgery complex. The main concern when it comes to oral surgery isn\u2019t the actual placement, it\u2019s the healing period afterward. That\u2019s why your dentist emphasizes the importance of upholding excellent oral health, especially after your placement has been completed. Here are the most common reasons why dental implants may be unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

Poor Dental Hygiene<\/h3>\n

Although the placement is relatively simple and can be \u201ccompleted\u201d during your scheduled appointment, there\u2019s a healing period that must take place to deem your implants secure and successful. A few months will be dedicated to healing and fusing the implant post with your body with a process called \u201cosseointegration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Respecting this process is key to dental implant success. The best way to honor this process is to keep excellent oral hygiene, keeping infectious materials and bad dental bacteria far from the affected area. Infections can lead to swelling, irritation, and ultimately dental implant failure.<\/p>\n

Tobacco Use<\/h3>\n

When it comes to your overall health\u2014especially your oral health\u2014any dentist will tell you that using tobacco is horrible for you. Even considering getting dental implants, your dentist will highly recommend quitting tobacco use altogether before approving dental implant placement. If you choose to use tobacco after your implant placement, you\u2019re risking its failure.<\/p>\n

Tobacco affects the healing of your dental implant by making it take significantly longer. How? The carcinogens in tobacco smoke act as an irritant to the affected area. Plus, unhealthy chemicals found in tobacco products can cause infections.<\/p>\n

Chronic Teeth Grinding<\/h3>\n

Your dentist may have mentioned this before, but dental implants may not be the best option for you if you have a long history of teeth grinding (bruxism). Since the motion associated with teeth grinding can cause dental damage and movement of your implant, it could change the position of your tooth replacement.<\/p>\n

Especially during the setting\/healing period, your dental prosthetic that\u2019s attached to your implant post may become damaged over time because of your grinding habit. If your dentist is aware of your grinding habit, you may be issued a personalized mouthguard to wear at night. Make sure you wear it!<\/p>\n

If you are experiencing any of these problems during your healing period, you may be already experiencing dental implant<\/a> failure. It\u2019s best to reach out to your dentist right away for assistance correcting your problem so that you can experience an effective tooth replacement!<\/p>\n
