Expectations and Realities of Dental Implants
Dental implants have revolutionized the way we approach missing teeth, offering a long-term solution that closely mimics natural teeth. But as with any medical procedure, there are potential challenges and complications. At Gallardo Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we pride ourselves on not just providing top-tier implant services but also in expertly handling the issues that may sometimes arise with dental implants.
Common Issues with Dental Implants
- Implant Failure or Rejection:
While rare, an implant may fail to integrate with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. This
can be due to various factors such as poor bone quality, infection, or even the body’s rejection of the
implant. - Infection and Peri-implantitis:
Infections can occur post-surgery, potentially leading to peri-implantitis – a condition similar to periodontal
disease that affects the tissues around the implant. It can cause bone loss and weaken the implant’s
stability. - Mechanical Complications:
These include issues with the implant itself, such as loosening or breakage, often due to normal wear and
tear, poor placement, or trauma. - Nerve Damage:
In some cases, implant surgery can lead to nerve damage, causing numbness, tingling, or pain. - Sinus Problems:
Implants in the upper jaw can protrude into the sinus cavity, leading to sinus-related issues.
Why Dental Implant Repair is Crucial
Addressing these complications promptly and effectively is vital. Repair and corrective procedures not only alleviate discomfort but also prevent further oral health issues. This is where expertise and experience come into play.
