According to the International Congress of Oral Implantologists it is rare that your body will reject your dental implant if properly treated by an experienced dentist.
However, your dental implant may not properly fuse to the bone or it can come loose from the bone for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to:
- Trauma
- Infection (Your mouth is full bacteria that can cause infection.)
- Your health status
- Your bone condition (density and volume, etc.)
If the implant fails and needs to be replaced, in most cases we would require for the bone to properly heal once again. Our office would then replace the implant at no extra cost.
