For quite some time, dental implants have been considered the best available solution for replacing missing teeth. This is because they’re placed directly into the patient’s jawbone, allowing for impressive and lasting support for a custom dental restoration. However, despite their 95% success rate, dental implants can still fail – so if yours feels loose, you shouldn’t delay in receiving professional care. Here’s what you need to know about dental implant failure and what you need to do if your dental implant feels loose.
Here are a few of the main reasons why dental implants can become loose:
Contacting your dentist should be your top priority if you suspect you have a loose dental implant; the issue will not resolve on its own! That said, the solution depends solely on the problem. If it’s an issue with the restoration, it’s generally going to be easier to address, compared to if the implant post has become compromised. In any case, your provider will be able to perform a thorough examination of your smile and take X-rays to determine the reason behind your implant becoming loose.
In many cases, a restoration can be refitted or replaced as necessary. However, if the problem lies within the surrounding gum or bone tissue, the treatment process will likely have additional steps and could require other procedures before replacing the implant, such as a supplemental bone graft or periodontal therapy.
