Why Do Implants Fail?

Why Do Implants Fail?

Dental implants are a highly successful and long-term solution for missing teeth, with success rates as high as 95%. However, like any surgical procedure, implants can occasionally fail. Understanding the causes of failure helps patients make informed decisions and ensures long-term implant success.

Common reasons for implant failure include poor surgical planning, inadequate bone density, smoking, untreated gum disease, or choosing low-quality implant systems. Healing complications may also occur due to poor oral hygiene or existing medical conditions. At Egham Dental Care, we focus on comprehensive pre-treatment assessments and advanced clinical protocols to minimise risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions?
How likely is implant failure?

We’ll assess the cause and may recommend a replacement after healing.

Do cheaper implants mean higher risk?

Yes, low-quality materials can compromise long-term success.

Maintain good oral hygiene and attend all follow-up appointments.

Absolutely. Routine checkups help monitor implant health and detect issues early.
