Implant Failure Treatment

Dental implants have a reputation as the most long-term solution for missing tooth replacement. Though it's rare, implant failure can occur, jeopardizing your smile restoration journey, visual appeal, and ability to bite, talk, and chew. Thankfully, professional implant failure treatment in Orlando, FL, from Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry can restore your failing implant. 

Our skilled, compassionate dental professionals work under Dr. Michael Gagaoudakis. With more than 18 years of dental and oral surgery experience, Dr. Mike is an expert in dental implants. He and our team can evaluate your implant and implement the best treatment plan to resolve any problem.

When bone doesn't grow enough around a dental implant, the rod will shift. The movement might be negligible at first. However, it will worsen over time, making the implant feel wobbly and unstable when you talk or chew. 

The most common reason for the failure is peri-implantitis, a condition that causes gum tissue inflammation around the dental implant. The condition eventually results in bone loss, reducing the jawbone's ability to firmly anchor the implant in the mouth. 

Peri-implantitis can range from mild to severe. Symptoms include:

• Visibility of the implant threads through the gums
• Receding gum line around the implant
• Red, inflamed gums
• Bleeding gums

Tartar buildup around the dental implant site is one way to develop peri-implantitis. That's why we at Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry stress the importance of good oral hygiene and provide education on the best dental care practices.

Osseointegration, the body's way of bonding to a foreign object, can also contribute to dental implant failure. The implant bonds to the jawbone to support the replacement tooth. 

If osseointegration doesn't work as it should, it could lead to implant failure. The rod for the prosthesis must have support from the jawbone, making the bonding process a necessity.

Orlando Lifestyle Dentistry is a top dental practice in the community that specializes in dental implants. Dr. Mike provides services for the surgical and prosthetic sides of restorative and cosmetic dentistry in our advanced dental facility. We always strive to provide dental implant procedures and take precautions to minimize the risk of complications. 



Unfortunately, complications can still occur. We can provide the best implant failure treatment in Orlando if they do.

Our team will ensure you have sufficient education on adequate oral hygiene to prevent inflammation. If you have trauma or an injury to your jawbone around the implant site, we can assess the damage, remove inflamed tissues, and perform a bone grafting procedure to repair it. Replacing the implant and crown with an alternative treatment may also be necessary.

With a successful dental implant, you won't experience pain or discomfort around the surgical site. Your replacement tooth or teeth will feel and function naturally. Yet, when the implant starts failing, you'll feel sharp pain around the implant or have swollen gums. 

Besides peri-implantitis and failed osseointegration, you could experience dental implant failure due to the following:

• Smoking
• Osteoporosis
• Gum disease
• Location of the implant in your mouth
• Existing medical conditions like diabetes and cancer
• Incomplete medical information
• Cancer treatment
• Teeth grinding
