Implant failure? We can help
Don’t wait to get the help you need
Dental implants are an effective and safe way to repair missing and damaged teeth. Although most of the time they don’t present any type of issue, sometimes implants do fail. If you suspect there’s a problem with your dental implant, our dentists at Healthy Smiles Family Dental can help!
Signs of dental implant failure:
Implant feels loose when you chew or talk
Experiencing pain around the implant
Receding gums around your implant
Swollen gums around the site of the implant
Why do dental implants fail?
Implants are very effective — they have a success rate of over 95%. However, there are several factors that can cause an implant to fail, including:
- Improper placement
- Poor dental hygiene

- Smoking
- Allergic reactions
- Injuries

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing or damaged teeth. They act as artificial roots and support crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Most healthy adults who have missing or damaged teeth with sufficient jawbone density are good candidates. During your consultation, our team of expert dentists will assess your teeth and gums to see if implants are the right fit for you.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, implants can last 15 years or longer. With the right maintenance, possibly a lifetime.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. Mild soreness tends to occur afterwards and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Caring for implants is similar to caring for natural teeth—daily brushing and flossing with regular dental visits. These steps are essential for long-term success.
