Dental implants are procedures carried out to restore teeth and still be able to show a nice smile without the impression of having the traditional dentures. With today’s technology, dental implant problems are less frequent and they have a success rate of 98%.

Dental implant problems include procedures to allow the dental implants to correctly bond to a person’s jaw bone. This is also technically referred to as osseointegrating with the jaw bone.

When the implant is not able to osseointegrate correctly, there are dental implant problems that you need to handle. These include the following specific concerns.

1. Dental implant infection

This can be caused by the patient’s poor oral hygiene and it happens during the dental implant process. The infection results into bone inflammation within the implant area. This is a major problem since it is the primary cause for the rejection of dental implants.

2. Problem with the sufficiency of bone mass

When the jaw bone volume is not sufficient, the dental implant may not bond properly. When this dental implant problem is seen, a scenario of bone graft becomes an option during the surgery. This will lead to a lower incidence of complications.     (more…)

Dental implant is a process of replacing a tooth by bonding an artificial one with the jaw bone. The effects of this procedure can lead to great results with your teeth looking natural and real. However, with some procedures, there may be some complications; especially if the patient’s general health condition is not ready for the process.

The problems and complications related to dental implants are given below:

1. Infection

Because of the process of bonding the dental implant with the jaw bone and its access to the gums, infection can happen. When the implant is first placed on to the jaw, there is a high possibility of this complication happening. Sometimes, even with a high level of care, because of the exposure to the tissues within the area where the dental implant procedure takes place, an infection can happen.

2.  Dental Implant Rejection

This happens because the dental implant is a foreign body entering your natural body system. Sometimes, with sensitive systems, the rejection occurs and it is difficult to proceed with the procedure. This kind of problem also happens in other surgeries like liver or kidney transplant.

3. Dental Implant Overload

When two or more teeth are placed in one implant, there can be an overload and this can cause too much pressure on the supporting bone. It is important that after a dental implant procedure, there is not much biting pressure placed on the implant. Healing time is needed to allow the bone to build up and be able to stand pressures.     (more…)
