Permanent Teeth

Dental implant failure can occur due to various factors such as infection at the implant site, poor osseointegration (the implant not fusing properly with the jawbone), or excessive pressure on the implant. Other causes include underlying health conditions like diabetes, smoking, or poor oral hygiene. At New Smile Sacramento, we work to identify the root cause of implant failure and develop a plan to restore your oral health.

Symptoms of a failing implant may include persistent pain or discomfort, gum inflammation, difficulty chewing, or noticeable movement of the implant. If you experience any of these issues, it’s important to seek professional help immediately. At New Smile Sacramento, our team will assess your symptoms, provide a thorough evaluation, and recommend the best course of action to address the problem.

Replacing a failed dental implant involves first removing the old implant and assessing the surrounding bone and tissues. If necessary, a bone graft may be performed to rebuild the jawbone. Once the area has healed, a new implant can be placed. At New Smile Sacramento, we carefully evaluate each case of implant failure to ensure that the replacement procedure is successful and long-lasting.

Yes, a failed dental implant can often be repaired or replaced. Depending on the cause of the failure, solutions may include treating any infection, performing bone grafting to rebuild the jawbone, or replacing the implant with a new one. At New Smile Sacramento, we specialize in addressing implant failures and work closely with patients to find the most effective solutions for restoring function and appearance.

Removing a failed dental implant is generally not a painful procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and post-procedure discomfort is usually minimal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. At New Smile Sacramento, our team ensures you are comfortable throughout the process and provides instructions for a swift, pain-free recovery.

Ignoring the signs of a failing implant can lead to more serious complications, including bone loss, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth or tissues. In some cases, the implant may need to be removed entirely, and additional treatments like bone grafting may be required to restore oral health. At New Smile Sacramento, we stress the importance of early intervention to prevent further damage and ensure the best outcome.
