Is it Time to Remove your Dental Implant? Know the Signs:
Most people consider a dental implant a permanent remedy for tooth loss. While this is true in most situations, some dental implants do fail. However, according to a 2017 study published in the Journal of Dentistry, the failure risk is relatively low -, the likelihood of early failure of dental implants was just under 7%.
Late implant failure is harder to identify, but according to a study published in Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, 5 to 10% of dental implants fail in total. While dentists and oral surgeons can take prophylactic efforts to avoid implant failure, a failing implant generally demands removal.
