Dental Implants Time and Rate of Failure

5%

Rate of Failure

The rate at which dental implants fail is about 5% — a small number, but when you consider how many people get implants, you realize a lot of people suffer from this. And the rate of failure can be due to many things.

3 to 4 Months

Time of Failure

Early failure of dental implants usually happens within three to four months after the procedure during the process of the implant integrating with the jaw bone. Auto-immune disorders, allergic reactions, infections, and medications are just a few reasons dental implants fail.

1 to 10 Years

Long-term Failure

If a dental implant fails anywhere from one to 10 years after the procedure, this is considered a late/long-term failure. There are several factors that can contribute to a late dental implant failure including: under-engineered procedures, smoking, lack of gum tissue, and teeth grinding. Infections, lack of bone, and head and neck radiation can also cause your dental implants to fail.

95%

Success Rate

You may feel worried that your implant will fail, but remember, about 95% of implants are successful, so failure is actually a rare occurrence. And with our Vancouver Implant Clinic guarantee, we're 100% confident you'll leave with your ultimate smile.

Several factors can lead to dental implant failure, including:

  • Infections: Peri-implantitis, an infection around the implant, can cause bone loss and implant failure.
  • Insufficient Bone Density: Without adequate bone support, implants may not integrate correctly.
  • Smoking: Smoking can impede healing and increase the risk of infection.
  • Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases and uncontrolled diabetes can affect healing.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate dental care can lead to infections and implant failure.
  • Mechanical Issues: Improper placement or excessive stress on the implant can cause failure.

Early detection of implant failure is crucial for successful treatment. Look out for the following symptoms:

  • Severe Pain or Discomfort: Persistent pain around the implant site.
  • Loose or Shifting Implant: Movement of the implant indicates lack of integration.
  • Swelling or Inflammation: Inflammation around the gums near the implant.
  • Gum Recession: Receding gums around the implant site.
  • Difficulty Chewing or Biting: Problems with normal oral functions.

The treatment for failed dental implants depends on the cause of failure:

  • Infection Management: Cleaning the implant site and improving oral hygiene. Antibiotics may be prescribed for infections like peri-implantitis.
  • Bone Grafting: Rebuilding the jawbone if bone loss is the issue before placing a new implant.
  • Implant Removal and Replacement: Removing the failed implant and placing a new one after a healing period.
