WHY DO IMPLANTS FAIL?
COMMON CAUSES OF
implant failure
Dental implants have a 98 percent success rate among patients, and rarely require removal or replacing. But in some cases, certain factors may interfere with long-term implant success and lead to failing dental implants in Charleston, SC, patients, the most common of which is a condition called peri-implantitis. Caused by poor oral hygiene, peri-implantitis damages the bone and gum tissues surrounding a dental implant and is characterized by symptoms like bleeding, inflammation, and implant mobility.
Without proper and timely care, peri-implantitis can lead to failing implants. Dr. Robert Carimi has extensive training in treating implants and can help save your oral health, smile, and tooth replacement investment. He uses advanced imaging technology and thorough clinical examination to assess implant health, identifies the cause of, and plan the ideal course of care.
Improper placement, an ill-fitting restoration, poor oral hygiene, or peri-implantitis are all causes of implant failure.
HOW DR. CARIMI IN CHARLESTON, SC DOES
IMPLANT TREATMENT
We approach each case of failing dental implants in Charleston, SC, patients on a case-by-case basis, according to the number of implants affected and the condition of implant sites. Improper implant placement may require surgical care to reposition or place a new implant. If an ill-fitting crown or denture restoration is the cause Dr. Carimi replaces the restoration with a new-custom-made prosthetic. Peri-implantitis that leads to failing dental implants is treated by removing diseased tissue and debris surrounding or attached to the implant surface. Bone grafting and use of Plasma Rich Growth Factors may be used around failing implants to rebuild a solid bony foundation and encourage new tissue growth for improved implant support.
