Naturally, that\u2019s how you know it\u2019s time to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Dental implants, though, are made from inorganic materials. They fill out your dental lineup and make your smile look fantastic, but how will you know whether they\u2019re healthy or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain warning signs you can watch out for; keep reading to learn what they are and what you should do if faced with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/dental-implant-failure-and-salvage.html\">dental implant failure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Dental Implants Safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before diving into the details of implant failure, it\u2019s important to note that in general, dental implants are an incredibly safe treatment. The materials involved are biocompatible and nontoxic, and studies show that they have a success rate of 98%. while failure is possible, it\u2019s extremely uncommon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warning Signs of Implant Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, it\u2019s still good to be able to recognize the warning signs so you can seek out treatment in a timely manner. If you experience any of these symptoms, it could mean that dental implant failure is imminent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Difficulties chewing or biting down<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gum inflammation or recession near the implant site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A wobbly dental implant or loose neighboring teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Severe pain, distracting discomfort, or oral swelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Soon Should I See My Dentist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as possible! Not only is implant failure itself considered a dental emergency, but some of the underlying causes of this problem can be serious. Your dentist will want to thoroughly examine your mouth to check on your overall oral health and make an accurate diagnosis. Depending on the issue, your treatment plan could simply include adjusting the implant, or taking care of conditions like gum disease, tooth decay, or infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the case may be, be sure to follow your dentist\u2019s instructions and voice any questions or concerns you might have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoiding Dental Implant Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will be happy to provide dental implant salvage and treatment, but it\u2019s best if you don\u2019t have to worry about implant failure in the first place! To prevent complications, make sure you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Brush twice daily, floss once per day, and use an antibacterial mouthwash<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings every six months<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smoke less \u2013 or better yet, quit using tobacco products altogether!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid other bad habits like nail biting, crunching ice, and consuming hard candy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With diligent care and help from your dentist, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy successful dental implants for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/meet-dr-rosenfeld.html\">Dr. David Rosenfeld<\/a> has many accomplishments in the field of dentistry, including being awarded a Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantology.
