Once you\u2019ve\ngotten your teeth replaced with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodspringsfamilydentistry.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental\nimplants,<\/a> they should stay in place, right? Unfortunately, that\u2019s not\nalways how things work. There are a few different reasons why your implant\nmight come loose. To learn what you can do about it, read this guide on loose\ndental implants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Recognize a Loose Dental Implant <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your implant is wiggling around, then that\u2019s an obvious\nsign that it\u2019s loose. However, there are more subtle symptoms that your implant\nisn\u2019t as firm as it could be. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bleeding when touched <\/li><li>Pain <\/li><li>Discoloration in the area<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you experience any of the above symptoms, contact your\ndentist right away. Even if these don\u2019t sound familiar to you, be sure to\nschedule a dental checkup if you haven\u2019t already. Regular appointments can help\nyour dentist make sure everything to do with your implant is going smoothly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Your Dental Implant Might Be Loose <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might not be your dental implant itself that\u2019s loose. It\ncould just be the crown that\u2019s on top of the implant. Your dentist may just\nneed to screw the crown on tighter or replace it. This is certainly easier than\nreplacing the entire implant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One reason your implant might be loose is that it failed to\nintegrate fully with your jawbone. You might not have had enough healthy\njawbone tissue to support the implant. If your implant feels loose within the\nfirst year, it\u2019s likely that failed integration is to blame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another reason might be peri-implantitis, the most common form\nof gum disease associated with dentures. If you notice red, tender, or receding\ngums early enough, then proper oral hygiene and a round of antibiotics might be\nall that\u2019s needed to treat the condition. However, if the disease has\nprogressed, your implant dentist may need to remove the implant and treat the\narea before replacing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think your dental implant has come loose, contact\nyour dentist right away to have them look at it. Learn to recognize the signs of\na loose implant so it has a higher chance of being saved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Sarah Yarnell loves helping nervous patients feel calm\nin the dental chair, which is why she received a Mastership in the College of\nSedation Dentistry.
