Some of the most common problems with dental implants include:
1. Peri-implantitis
This is an infection that can occur when oral bacteria infect the tissues around the implant. The infection then triggers inflammation and can lead to bone loss and implant failure.
2. Tissue and nerve damage
Implants that are improperly placed can trigger pain, tingling and numbness. They can also cause temporary or permanent nerve and tissue damage.
3. Overloading
Immediate-load or same-day implants are an excellent way to complete the process without the need for a long wait, but problems can occur. If excess force is applied to the implant before the osseointegration process is complete, an increase in inflammation can occur.
4. Sinus problems
Sinus problem can occur if the bone quality or depth is not sufficient for upper implants to be placed.
Rarely, implant failure, rejection or allergic reactions can occur. Although problems are extremely uncommon, you need to act quickly when they do occur to save the implant and protect your dental health. Call us today to schedule your appointment for emergency dental implants care.
