You Need A Surgical Expert
If you have completed dental implant treatment and have swelling, pain, or infection around your implants, you need care from a surgical expert. While dental implants are the preferred option for replacing teeth today, complications and even failure can still occur.
One of the biggest contributors to implant failure is under-engineering. If too few implants were placed, or inserted at the wrong location or angle to support a prosthesis, or your bite was not properly adjusted, pressure is distributed unequally.
Causes
Causes Of Dental Implant Complications
Any excessive force on an implant can result in prosthetic fracture, bone loss, infection, and eventual failure of the implant. Peri-implantitis — inflammation and infection of the tissue and bone surrounding an implant — is another common cause, and it progresses quietly if it is not treated by a specialist.
You will need the expertise of a trained dental implant surgeon to assess your situation and remove the implant if necessary. An implant expert also has the skill and technology to replace your dental implant and do it right.
Treatment
A Solution For Failing Dental Implants
Treatment begins with 3D imaging and a full evaluation of the existing implants, prosthesis, bite and bone levels. Depending on findings, we may treat infection, graft lost bone, redesign the prosthesis, or remove and re-place implants in properly engineered positions. Because our prosthodontist and oral surgeon plan the case together, the restoration and surgery are designed as one solution.
