Failed Implants

Suffering from dental implant failure?

Dental implants have a success rate of 98%, but there is a risk of complications or failure. What causes an implant to fail? It may be a combination of factors, including:

• Gum disease

• Insufficient jaw bone

• Various medical conditions

• Poor dental hygiene maintenance

• Improper implant placement

We’re your source for treating a failed implant in Northern Nevada. Our team is highly skilled at restoring and replacing failing implants. More importantly, we’ll make sure that this time, your implant is set up for success.

Signs your dental implant could be failing

• Severe discomfort & pain

• Loose or shifting implant

• Gum swelling & inflammation

• Gum recession around the implant

We fix failed implants

We specialize in salvaging and replacing failed implants. Our recommendation for repairing your implant will depend on various factors — there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.

If we catch a problem early on, we’ll take preventive measures to stabilize the implant and address the issue at the source. However, we may need to remove the failed implant.

From there, we’ll work together to come up with the best plan moving forward.

In some cases, a new implant that better fits your individual needs can be placed immediately. Sometimes, added measures are needed, such as a bone grafting procedure or sinus lift, to help support your implant placement. In more severe cases, it could take several months before your implant area is healed.
