Dental Implants Time and Rate of Failure

5%

Rate of Failure

The rate at which dental implants fail is about 5% — a small number, but when you consider how many people get implants, you realize a lot of people suffer from this. And the rate of failure can be due to many things.

3 to 4 Months

Time of Failure

Early failure of dental implants usually happens within three to four months after the procedure during the process of the implant integrating with the jaw bone. Auto-immune disorders, allergic reactions, infections, and medications are just a few reasons dental implants fail.

1 to 10 Years

Long-term Failure

If a dental implant fails anywhere from one to 10 years after the procedure, this is considered a late/long-term failure. There are several factors that can contribute to a late dental implant failure including: under-engineered procedures, smoking, lack of gum tissue, and teeth grinding. Infections, lack of bone, and head and neck radiation can also cause your dental implants to fail.

95%

Success Rate

You may feel worried that your implant will fail, but remember, about 95% of implants are successful, so failure is actually a rare occurrence. And with our Tampa Implant Clinic guarantee, we're 100% confident you'll leave with your ultimate smile.

Failed dental implants refer to the unsuccessful integration or retention of dental implants in the jawbone, resulting in complications that prevent them from functioning as intended. While dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, various factors can lead to failure.

  • Infection: Peri-implantitis, an infection of the tissues surrounding the implant, can compromise its stability and lead to failure.
  • Insufficient Bone Density: Implants require adequate bone support for proper integration. If the jawbone is too thin or soft, the implant may not secure effectively.
  • Improper Placement: If an implant is not positioned correctly, it can lead to stress on the implant and surrounding structures, resulting in failure.
  • Excessive Load: Applying too much pressure on the implant, often from grinding teeth or improper biting, can hinder its stability.
  • Medical Conditions: Certain health issues, such as uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune diseases, can affect healing and implant success.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Neglecting oral care can lead to infections and other complications, increasing the risk of implant failure.
  • Pain or discomfort around the implant site
  • Swelling or inflammation in the gums
  • Loosening of the implant
  • Discharge of pus or other fluids
  • Difficulty chewing or biting

Our clinic offers various treatment strategies to manage failed dental implants and ensure optimal outcomes.

  • Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste.
  • Floss regularly to remove plaque.
  • Visit your dentist every six months for professional cleanings and check-ups.
  • Avoid hard foods that could damage the implants or prosthesis.
  • Use a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night.
