What can go wrong with dental implants?
There are really not too many things that can go wrong with dental implants. They can fail to integrate into the bone and come out. They can fracture or break. There can be problems with the connection between the implant and the prosthesis. There can be an infection or an inflammatory condition in the soft tissue and sometimes in the bone as a result of the implant placement. There can be damage to the nerves in the lower jaw and there can be damage to the maxillary sinus or the nasal cavity. All of these complications are rare and usually account for less than 5% of all dental implant treatments. These complications can usually be easily corrected.
The most typical problems with dental implants are rejection, breakage and inflammation of bone or gums. Although such conditions are rare, they still account for approx. 5% of implants failure. Patientrs with diabetes, periodontal diseases and bruxism are in the risk category for dental implants failure.
Typical lifespan of implants is up to 10 years, which means that although extremely dutrable, they are not everlasting and may eventually fell of or break.
Although dental implants have high success, they sometimes fail. This can be due to patient dental conditions such as lack of bone support, poor healthing ability such as is the case with diabetes, or can be do the dentist skill. As your richmond hill dentist if implants are right for you.
