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 Nashville Implant Clinic guarantee, we're 100% confident you'll leave with your ultimate smile.

The best way to keep your dental implants he althy – and in your mouth – is to practice good oral hygiene. Brush and floss twice daily, and use an alcohol-free antibacterial mouthwash. Some changes to your diet may also be beneficial. Avoid hard candy and other foods that are rough on teeth.

The treatment for failing implants is dependent on the cause of the failure. In cases where a gum infection is causing the implants to fail – called peri-implantitis – the treatment may involve simply cleaning the implant and focusing on better oral hygiene practices in the future. If detected and treated early, peri-implantitis has a very positive prognosis. In cases of damage to or stress on the bone around the implant, a bone graft may be required. Dental implants can only be placed in spots on the jawbone that have sufficient bone density. If jawbone loss or bone damage has caused an implant to fail, the treatment will involve a bone graft.

It varies from individual to individual and with he alth and habits. For a he althy individual with good oral hygiene and good he alth, dental implants are predictably successful with reported success rates above 90-95 percent.

Despite the many benefits of dental implants, they do have the potential to fail. But what happens if and when they die? Can you get them fixed? Will you be able to get another implant?
