You\u2019ve heard that they restore your ability to talk and speak normally, and have a beautiful smile to boot. You\u2019ve heard that once you\u2019ve recovered from the surgery, implants are typically just like natural teeth. However, on rare occasions, the implant procedure may not work. Let\u2019s look at 7 reasons why your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dalegreerdds.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> in North Dallas may fail.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How Often Do Dental Implants Fail?<\/h2>\n<p>Dental implants typically fail about 5% of the time. However, when you consider just how many people get implants, that number can turn out to be quite high. Failure can be due to several different causes. Let\u2019s look at 7 reasons that dental implants can fail.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Autoimmune Diseases<\/h2>\n<p>If you have an autoimmune disease, your implant is more likely to fail than in individuals without any of those diseases. An autoimmune disease is an illness that causes the body\u2019s immune system to attack itself. This increases the body\u2019s risk of infection and of rejecting the implant. Some types of autoimmune diseases include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Celiac disease<\/li>\n<li>Type 1 diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Lupus<\/li>\n<li>Rheumatoid arthritis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Poor General Health<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t take good care of your teeth and your body in general, you can increase your risk of implant failure. Implants are less likely to integrate with an unhealthy body than with a healthy body.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Allergic Reaction<\/h2>\n<p>Most implants are made of titanium alloy, and some have traces of nickel. This can cause an allergic reaction in some patients. If you have a tingling or burning feeling in your implant, tell your doctor immediately.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Body Rejecting the Foreign Object<\/h2>\n<p>Although this condition is rare, your body can still reject the implant, much like it would an organ transplant. This can lead to an implant that becomes loose because it fails to integrate into the jawbone.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Smoking<\/h2>\n<p>Smoking can increase your risk of implant failure to up to 20%. To ensure your chances of integration, stop smoking for a while before and after the procedure. Why don\u2019t you use this chance to kick that destructive habit for good?<\/p>\n<h2>6. Bruxism<\/h2>\n<p>Bruxism is another word for teeth grinding or clenching. It usually happens while you\u2019re sleeping. The increased pressure placed on the implant and surrounding teeth can hurt the recovery process and even lead to implant failure.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Poor Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n<p>Even if you take care of the rest of your body, not maintaining proper oral hygiene can hinder your implant integration process. Make sure to take good care of your teeth and gums with regular brushing, flossing, and visits to the dentist.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Symptoms of a Dental Implant Failure?<\/h2>\n<p>Tell your dentist in North Dallas if you experience any of the following symptoms after getting an implant:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Swelling or inflammation of the gums<\/li>\n<li>Severe pain<\/li>\n<li>Loose implant<\/li>\n<li>Gum recession around implant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although dental implants rarely give patients problems, it\u2019s still important to understand the risks of the procedure. If you have any of the conditions listed above, talk to your dentist right away about how you can increase your implant\u2019s chances of success.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Dale Greer graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1977.
