Dental Implants are a very successful way of helping restore the smiles of patients who have lost one or more of their teeth. The success of a case is dependent on planning the case for success. Prior to implant placement, records need to be obtained, waxing up a tooth or teeth to ensure appropriate placement. After integration, the implant placement will also be evaluated to avoid any problems before any work is finalized. While most dental implants will function successfully, this may not always be the case. Occasionally there may be complications involved with a dental implant.
Some dental implant complications are related to the health of the gum and bone in the area around the implant. If the gum and bone around the implant become infected, this can lead to gum and bone loss, and potentially to a loss of the dental implant.
Other dental implant complications can result from the implant being positioned incorrectly, migration of the implant due to it not being well-secured or fracturing of the implant due to excessive biting force. Because of the potential for dental implant complications, it is very important to visit a skilled dentist like Dr. Horblitt who has the experience and knowledge to prevent these problems.
