The most common of these are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Low Jaw Density <\/strong>\u2013 A jaw may lack the density to support dental implants, leading the posts to fail and fall out. That\u2019s especially likely for those who get implants after prolonged tooth loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peri-Implantitis <\/strong>\u2013If you\u2019re unlucky, you could get an oral infection around your implant. This condition (i.e., peri-implantitis) harms the tissues near your post and causes it to fail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trauma <\/strong>\u2013If you suffer a mouth-related accident or injury, your implant could fail as a result. A strong blow to your oral cavity can dislodge the post and compromise its integrity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>See your local dentist to learn why your own dental implants failed. After a brief oral exam, they can diagnose the precise cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Implant Removal Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dentist must remove failed dental implants to prevent worse problems later. This process often depends on the patient\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many specifics relate to a dental practice\u2019s technology. For example, many dentists use a trough bur to cut bone along an implant\u2019s edge; doing so helps with removal. Other dental providers have advanced \u201cadapters\u201d that can yield high torque. For these latter dentists, an \u201cadapter\u201d lets them remove an implant without cutting any bone tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever their exact method, trust that your dentist\u2019s work will be painless. They\u2019ll have you under anesthesia or sedation before they remove the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Comes After the Removal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a dentist removes your dental implant, you must let your mouth heal. This recovery period ensures your oral health remains stable over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAftercare\u201d for dental implant removal should include several practices. For one thing, you must only drink cold beverages until the anesthesia wears off; you risk burning your mouth otherwise. You also shouldn\u2019t touch the former implant site with your fingers or tongue. If you do, you could dislodge the forming blood clot and delay your recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While never ideal, removing a failed dental implant can protect your smile. Keep that in mind as you consult your dental provider about treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydaytonadentist.com\/\">Indigo Dental of Daytona Beach<\/a> is based in Daytona Beach, FL.
