Dental Implants Time and Rate of Failure
5%
Rate of Failure
The rate at which dental implants fail is about 5% — a small number, but when you consider how many people get implants, you realize a lot of people suffer from this. And the rate of failure can be due to many things.
3 to 4 Months
Time of Failure
Early failure of dental implants usually happens within three to four months after the procedure during the process of the implant integrating with the jaw bone. Auto-immune disorders, allergic reactions, infections, and medications are just a few reasons dental implants fail.
1 to 10 Years
Long-term Failure
If a dental implant fails anywhere from one to 10 years after the procedure, this is considered a late/long-term failure. There are several factors that can contribute to a late dental implant failure including: under-engineered procedures, smoking, lack of gum tissue, and teeth grinding. Infections, lack of bone, and head and neck radiation can also cause your dental implants to fail.
95%
Success Rate
You may feel worried that your implant will fail, but remember, about 95% of implants are successful, so failure is actually a rare occurrence. And with our Redwood City Implant Clinic guarantee, we're 100% confident you'll leave with your ultimate smile.

What are Failed Dental Implants?
Failed dental implants can occur due to various reasons, including infection, inadequate bone support, or improper placement. Recognizing the symptoms early and seeking prompt treatment is crucial to maintaining your oral health.
Common Causes of Implant Failure
- Peri-implantitis: Infection around the implant.
- Insufficient Bone Density: Lack of adequate bone to support the implant.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate care leading to infection and inflammation.
- Smoking: Increases the risk of implant failure.
- Chronic Diseases: Conditions like diabetes can affect healing.
Signs of a Failed Dental Implant
Recognizing the symptoms of a failed dental implant is essential for timely intervention:
- Pain or Discomfort: Persistent pain around the implant site.
- Loose Implant: Movement of the implant, indicating a lack of integration with the bone.
- Swelling or Inflammation: Ongoing swelling or redness around the implant area.
- Difficulty Chewing: Problems with biting or chewing that weren’t present before.
Failed Dental Implant Treatment Options
At Redwood City Implant Clinic, we offer a range of treatments to address failed dental implants and restore your smile:
- Thorough Examination: Our specialists conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify the cause of implant failure.
- Infection Management: Treatment of peri-implantitis involves cleaning the infected area and may include antibiotics.
- Bone Grafting: For insufficient bone support, bone grafting procedures can enhance the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for a new implant.
- Implant Replacement: If the implant is damaged or improperly placed, we can remove and replace it with a new, correctly positioned implant.
- Advanced Imaging: Utilizing state-of-the-art imaging technology, we ensure precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
Aftercare and Maintenance
- Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Floss regularly to remove plaque.
- Visit your dentist every six months for professional cleanings and check-ups.
- Avoid hard foods that could damage the implants or prosthesis.
- Use a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night.
