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

Several factors can contribute to the failure of dental implants, including:

  1. Poor Bone Quality: Insufficient bone density or volume can prevent successful implant integration.
  2. Infection: Bacterial infections around the implant site can lead to inflammation, implant instability, and ultimately, failure.
  3. Improper Placement: Incorrect positioning or angulation of implants during placement can affect their long-term success.
  4. Smoking: Tobacco use can impair healing and increase the risk of implant failure.
  5. Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders may impact the body’s ability to heal and accept dental implants.
  6. Bruxism: Excessive teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism) can put undue stress on implants, leading to complications.
  7. Implant Overloading: Placing excessive force on implants too soon after placement can hinder proper integration.

At Kelowna Implant Clinic, we understand the challenges posed by failed dental implants and offer comprehensive solutions to restore your smile’s functionality and appearance. Our approach includes:

  2. Treatment Planning: Based on our evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to address your specific needs and restore optimal implant function.
  3. Implant Revision or Replacement: Depending on the extent of implant failure, we may recommend implant revision or replacement to improve stability and integration.
  4. Bone Grafting: In cases of inadequate bone volume, we may perform bone grafting procedures to enhance bone density and support successful implant placement.
  5. Infection Management: We employ advanced techniques to manage infections effectively, promoting healing and implant success.
  6. Smoking Cessation Support: For patients who smoke, we provide guidance and support to quit smoking, reducing the risk of implant complications.
  7. Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance: After implant revision or replacement, we offer regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress and ensure long-term implant success.
