Dental implants are designed to last for life. But when infection like peri-implantitis (a type of gum disease that affects implants) causes failing dental implants, you need the care of an experienced implant provider to help save your investment. Just like natural teeth, the gums around your implants can become infected if plaque and tartar are allowed to build up. Good oral hygiene can reverse minor gingivitis, but if left unaddressed, peri-implantitis can result in failing dental implants. Additionally, dental implants can fail if they’re placed incorrectly or set into too little bone. The symptoms of failing dental implants can include pain or discomfort, bleeding, swelling, loose or mobile implants, and gum recession around an implant. Any signs should be evaluated promptly.

Depending on your medical and health background, the reason the implant(s) fail can be due to anatomical needs, health concerns, or lack of the dentist’s experience.
