Are there risks involved with the implant placement?
An implant placement is a minor operation. Complications such as injuries to nerves and blood vessels are certainly possible when placing implants. However, the current state of diagnostics and planning make this very unlikely. When conducted by a qualified implantologist an implant placement involves no more risk than the removal of a wisdom tooth. A sudden rejection reaction of a completely healed implant is also very rare. In exceptional cases the bone may not hold the implant in place securely enough. In that case it would not be able to resist loading sufficiently and would probably have to be removed under local anesthetic. However, in such a case a new implant can normally be placed – if that is what you want.
