Exploring the Factors Behind Dental Implant Failures: Trust Dental Concepts for Long-Lasting Results

Dental implants have revolutionised the field of restorative dentistry, offering a reliable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing or loose teeth. While dental implants boast an impressive success rate, it's important to understand the potential reasons for implant failure. It can also tell us a lot about how we should prevent dental implant failure. In this blog, we will discuss various factors that could contribute to implant failure while emphasising the positive outcomes and high patient satisfaction achieved at Dental Concepts, your trusted provider of dental implants in Andover, Whitchurch, Southampton and Poole.

Understanding Potential Factors Behind Dental Implant Failures

Poor Oral Hygiene

Inadequate oral hygiene practices can lead to gum disease, which can compromise the stability of dental implants. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are crucial for maintaining healthy gums and ensuring the long-term success of your implants. Your dentist will have specific aftercare instructions around cleaning and brushing, be mindful that you follow these entirely.

Smoking and Tobacco Use

Smoking and tobacco use have been linked to a higher risk of implant failure. These habits can impede the healing process, increase the risk of infection, and hinder osseointegration—the bonding of the implant with the jawbone.

Insufficient Bone Density

Sufficient bone density is vital for the successful placement and stability of dental implants. In cases where the jawbone lacks density, bone grafting or other augmentation procedures may be necessary to ensure implant success. At Dental Concepts we offer bone grafting that helps to mitigate the issue of low bone density and we’ve had fantastic success.

Systemic Health Conditions

Certain systemic health conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disorders, can affect the healing process and increase the risk of implant failure. Close collaboration between your dental team and healthcare providers is crucial in managing these conditions to optimise implant success. It’s crucial you are honest about your medical history when at the consultation for dental implants.

Implant Overloading

Placing excessive force on dental implants, particularly during the healing period, can lead to implant failure. Following post-operative instructions and avoiding activities that may stress the implant area are essential for a successful outcome.

Poor Implant Placement

Inadequate planning or incorrect placement of implants can lead to complications and implant failure. It is vital to choose an experienced dental professional who utilises advanced technology and techniques to ensure precise implant placement.
