This can be due to many\nfactors. Choosing an experienced dentist that is careful and skilled can give\nyou peace-of-mind when it comes to getting the procedure. Other reasons that\ncan cause dental implants to fail include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Autoimmune Diseases:<\/strong> If you\u2019re a patient who has illnesses such as celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, lupus, multiple sclerosis, or rheumatoid arthritis, your body is more likely to reject your implants. <\/li><li><strong>Infections<\/strong>: Peri-<pwa data-pwa-id=\"pwa-D5C262AF50AA62E44A9C1B3EDA277A35\" data-pwa-rule-id=\"SIMPLE_SPELLING\" data-pwa-category=\"spelling\" data-pwa-hint=\"Unknown word: implantitis\" data-pwa-suggestions=\"implantation\" data-pwa-dictionary-word=\"implantitis\" class=\"pwa-mark pwa-mark-done\">implantitis<\/pwa> is one of the most common infections that affects implants.

Some signs to look out for\ninclude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pain and discomfort.<\/li><li>Loose or shifting implants.<\/li><li>Swollen or inflamed gums.<\/li><li>Receding gums around the implants.<\/li><li>Difficulty chewing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing any of these symptoms, it\u2019s important\nto contact your implant dentist immediately. Depending on the cause, your\ndentist will determine what treatment will be best for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Reduce Your Risk Of Implant Failure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you experience any signs of implant failure, take\nproper care of them by keeping up with your oral hygiene. Be sure to brush\ntwice a day, floss, and use alcohol-free mouthwash. Additionally, visiting your\ndentist every 6 months for your checkup and cleaning can help spot and treat\nany signs or symptoms of oral health problems before they turn into something\nmore serious. Lastly, try maintaining a nutritious diet to help boost your\njawbone and gum health like fish, milk, and eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants have a laundry list of benefits to offer you\nand are well worth the investment. Just remember that in order to reap those\nbenefits, it\u2019s important to take care of your oral health and be on the lookout\nfor symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Sarah Yarnell offers her patients over 7 years of\nexperience and knowledge.
