In general, getting a dental implant is a very reliable way to replace a missing tooth. But, even though it happens rarely, implants can fail.
There are two types of dental implant failure: short-term and long-term.
A short-term implant failure usually happens when the implant doesn’t Osteointegrate with the jawbones.
Peri-implantitis, a long-term infection of the gum and bone that hold a dental implant in place, is often the cause of long-term implant failure.
