There can be nothing worse than investing in having teeth replaced with what is understood to be the best and most sophisticated technology on the market only to experience problems with your new teeth. This is unfortunately the risk that comes with any surgery and with medical treatment. The human body can react unpredictably, which is why it’s so important to make the right choice in dental healthcare professional. The chance of dental implants problems moving forward is far slimmer if your dentist is skilled and has decades’ worth of experience in placing and restoring dental implants.
That said, there’s no reason you need to live with the discomfort and hassles of a problematic implant. Dr. Alan Wolcott not only replaces missing teeth on a daily basis; he also provides solutions for patients who have been experiencing problems with their dental implants. If you are in a similar position, we greatly urge you to call the All On Implants office (details below) immediately and we’ll find a working solution that will have you getting the very most out of your teeth replacement solution.
Some Things to Know about Dental Implant Problems
- The vast majority of dental implant procedures, especially those performed by our skilled and experienced oral surgeons, are without complication.
- It is vitally important that you seek immediate attention for dental problems after you’ve had teeth replaced. This can include, but is not limited to, prolonged bleeding, sensitivity, pain, inflammation and discomfort that extend past the expected healing time.
- Even if you suspect that something might not be quite right (it doesn’t have to be something glaringly obvious), call and make an appointment to have it checked out. Timely treatment can prevent implant failure.
- If your implant fails, all is not lost! Dr. Wolcott can typically replace it with another one and give you back your lost confidence and smile. Again, time is of the essence.
- The most common dental implants problems one might experience include:
- Peri implantitis (infection around the implant),
- Overloading,
- Insufficient bone volume in the jaw,
- Incorrect positioning
- Damage to the surrounding teeth and soft tissues.
Many of these issues can be managed from a detailed examination and with proper planning. By working with an experienced dentist, such as Dr. Wolcott from the outset, many of these issues are avoided. Should they become an issue, Dr. Wolcott can often provide you with a comprehensive solution.
