What Are Failing and Broken Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a durable and long-lasting solution for tooth loss, but complications can arise due to factors such as bone loss, infection, or mechanical stress.

Common Causes of Implant Failure:

  • Peri-implantitis – Infection leading to gum inflammation and bone loss around the implant.
  • Insufficient Bone Density – Weak bone support can cause implant instability.
  • Overloading – Excessive pressure from grinding or misaligned bites can cause fractures.
  • Loose or Broken Abutments – The small connector between the implant and crown may become damaged.
  • Failed Osseointegration – The implant fails to fuse properly with the jawbone.
  • Variability in Implant Numbers – The term "All-On-4" is a general descriptor for full-mouth dental implants, which may include variations like All-On-5 or All-On-6. The success of All-On-4 is comparable to other configurations, as the focus should be on strategic implant placement rather than the number of implants.
If you experience pain, swelling, or implant movement, it’s essential to seek prompt care to prevent further complications.

Benefits of Restoring a Broken or Failing Implant

A failing implant doesn’t always require complete replacement. In many cases, restoring or repairing the implant components can restore its function without removing the entire structure.

How We Repair Broken and Failing Implants

Comprehensive Evaluation & Diagnosis

  • Free 3D CT Scan assesses bone health, surrounding gum tissue, and implant stability.
  • Dr. Philip J. Gordon, DDS, determines the cause of implant failure through a detailed examination.
  • A customized treatment plan is created based on your condition to restore the implant effectively.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options (If Possible)

  • Deep cleaning and antibiotics treat minor infections before they worsen.
  • Bite adjustment corrects excessive pressure on the implant.
  • New abutment or crown replacement restores aesthetic and functional issues.
  • All-On-4/6 implants replace missing gum and bone, contributing to a bulkier feel.
  • Understanding bone loss, severe underbites, or overbites helps manage patient expectations.

Implant Revision Surgery (If Needed)

  • Bone grafting restores support if bone loss has occurred.
  • Implant removal and replacement may be necessary if the implant is beyond repair.
  • Despite the preference for zirconia bridges, no material is indestructible.
  • Correct design, dimensions, and proper bite alignment are critical to prevent fractures.

Signs You May Need Implant Repair

Not sure if your implant is failing? Look for these signs:
  • Persistent pain or discomfort around the implant
  • Swelling, redness, or signs of infection near the gum line
  • Loose or wobbly feeling when chewing or speaking
  • Exposed metal or visible fractures in the implant structure
  • Bad taste or bleeding around the implant site
  • Heaviness of Zirconia. Adaptation to the weight of zirconia bridges is usually quick.

If you notice any of these symptoms, book an appointment for a professional assessment.

How to Maintain a Healthy Implant
  • Practice Good Oral Hygiene – Brush twice daily and floss around implants.
  • Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods – Prevents unnecessary strain on your implant.
  • Wear a Nightguard if You Grind Your Teeth – Protects implants from excessive force.
  • Schedule Regular Dental Checkups – Dr. Gordon monitors implant health and catches issues early.
  • Avoid Smoking – Reduces the risk of infection and bone loss.
  • Understand Proprioception Changes – Reduced proprioception is common in All-On-4 implants. Because they lack nerves, bite perception takes time to adapt, but this is not necessarily detrimental.

FAQs

Implants can fail due to infection, poor bone integration, excessive bite force, smoking, medical conditions, or improper placement.

Signs of failure include pain, swelling, implant movement, gum recession, bleeding, or difficulty chewing.

Minor repairs can take one visit, while bone grafting or implant replacement may require several months.

Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid smoking, attend regular checkups, and protect implants from excessive force or grinding.
