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 Fremont Implant Clinic guarantee, we're 100% confident you'll leave with your ultimate smile.

What Is a Failed Dental Implant?
A failed dental implant occurs when the dental implant does not properly integrate with the jawbone or experiences complications after healing. This can lead to discomfort, infection, or the inability to support a replacement tooth.
Common Causes of Implant Failure
1. Infection (Peri-Implantitis): Bacterial infections around the implant site can cause bone loss and implant instability, leading to implant failure.
2. Insufficient Bone Density: If there isn’t enough bone to support the implant, it may fail to integrate properly, resulting in instability or shifting.
3. Poor Oral Hygiene: Neglecting oral hygiene can result in gum disease or infections that compromise the success of the implant.
4. Overloading the Implant: Excessive pressure during the healing phase or premature stress on the implant can prevent proper bonding with the jawbone.
Signs of a Failing Dental Implant
Recognizing the signs of implant failure early can help prevent further complications:
- Pain or discomfort around the implant site
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Implant mobility or shifting
- Gum inflammation or infection
How Fremont Implant Clinic Treats Failed Dental Implants
1. Deep Cleaning and Antibiotics: If peri-implantitis is detected, our team will perform a thorough cleaning of the implant site and may prescribe antibiotics to control infection.
2. Bone Grafting: For patients with insufficient bone, we offer bone grafting procedures to rebuild the jaw and allow for successful implant placement in the future.
3. Implant Replacement: In cases where the implant cannot be saved, we can safely remove the failed implant and replace it once the underlying issues are addressed.
How to Prevent Dental Implant Failure
1. Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings can help prevent infections that lead to implant failure.
2. Attend Regular Check-Ups: Routine dental visits allow us to monitor the health of your implants and catch any issues early on.
3. Avoid Smoking: Smoking can significantly increase the risk of implant failure by interfering with the healing process.
4. Manage Chronic Conditions: Conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disorders can affect healing. Proper management of these conditions is essential for implant success.
