Loose Dental Implant

Unfortunately, there is a lot of dental implant failure that needs to be treated. A large portion of Dr. Chal's dental practice is devoted to re-treating dental implant patients, re-doing work that had already been done once.

A loose dental implant can be from several possible causes.

The bone around the implant doesn't fill in and bond to the implant.

Infection around the implant.

There wasn't enough quality bone around the implant.

It heals properly, but later becomes infected. Periimplantitis.

Something can break - the implant, the implant screw, the crown on the implant.

Broken restorations can be repaired. But a fractured implant will need to be removed.
