Dental implants have become a popular solution for replacing missing teeth. However, like any medical procedure, they can sometimes fail. In this post, we’ll discuss key factors that can affect dental implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, some dental implants are placed based on guesswork, resulting in suboptimal location, angle, and depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO FIX THIS<\/strong>: In my experience, precise implant placement is paramount for a successful outcome. If an implant is positioned at an incorrect angle, the off-center pressure can compromise its stability. This can lead to short-term issues like crown or screw loosening and, ultimately, long-term implant failure. This is why I always use surgical guide<\/a> even the simplest implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
