Top 3 Reasons for Dental Implant Failure

Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, but like any medical procedure, they are not without risks. At Majestic Smile Studio in Yorba Linda, we strive to ensure the success of every dental implant procedure. Understanding the top reasons for dental implant failure can help patients make informed decisions and take preventive measures. Here are the top three reasons for dental implant failure:

1. Infection and Poor Oral Hygiene

One of the most common reasons for dental implant failure is infection, also known as peri-implantitis. This infection occurs around the implant site and can be caused by bacteria buildup due to poor oral hygiene. Symptoms include swelling, bleeding gums, and pus discharge. To prevent infection, it’s crucial to maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly and attending routine dental check-ups.

2. Insufficient Bone Density

For a dental implant to be successful, there must be sufficient bone density in the jaw to support the implant. If the bone is too thin or soft, it may not be able to anchor the implant securely, leading to failure. This issue can often be addressed with bone grafting procedures before the implant is placed. At Majestic Smile Studio, we conduct thorough assessments to determine if bone grafting is necessary to ensure the best possible outcome.

3. Improper Placement and Overloading

The success of a dental implant also heavily depends on its proper placement and load distribution. If an implant is placed at the wrong angle or depth, or if too much pressure is applied too soon, it can lead to failure. This is why choosing an experienced and skilled dental professional, like those at Majestic Smile Studio, is critical. We use advanced imaging technology and precise techniques to ensure optimal placement and loading of dental implants.

Prevention and Care

Preventing dental implant failure starts with choosing the right dental practice and maintaining good oral hygiene. At Majestic Smile Studio, our experienced team is dedicated to providing high-quality care and ensuring the success of your dental implants. Regular follow-ups and adhering to post-operative care instructions are vital in maintaining the longevity of your implants.

The best dentist I've ever been to, this place is awesome ! As everyone knows, going to a dental office typically isn't a celebratory and pleasant event! However, my experience here changed my outlook on dentistry for the better. Nicole the office manager was very kind and set the appointment for me even though I had to be back to my office by 9 AM and I needed to have an appointment closer to 7 AM, she moved things around and accommodate me and promised I won’t be late to work. Veronica(who administered the X-rays and assisted Dr. Gutierrez) was thorough, kind, and very knowledgeable, which was a great start. Then Dr. Gutierrez came in to conduct the examination and assess what work needed to be performed. The sincerity she exhibited for my well being was admirable and her exceptional skill became immediately evident. I've been to several of the top dentists in Southern California, and this was by far the most impressive experience. Their price point was reasonable, the building was quite nice, and the level of care is top notch. In addition, the hygienist Stephanie was fantastic. She approached your cleaning with the perfect balance of gentleness and rigorousness. The photo studio for before and after pictures was very useful for me to see the huge difference. If you need a new dentist, this is the place. They've gained a lifelong patient in me! I hate going to the dentist. Not because I'm scared, but because I despise mouth and dental related pains. I don’t have high tolerance for pain, dental pain for whatever reason is 10 times more, but I did full sets of veneers and didn’t feel any pain! I highly recommend Majestic Smile Studio and Dr. Gutierrez and her team.
