Common Implant Complications
Not every issue is the same. Implant complications may appear soon after placement or years later. Some of the most common problems include:
Peri-Implantitis
An infection of the gum and bone around an implant, similar to gum disease. Signs may include redness, swelling, bleeding, or bone loss.
Implant Loosening or Mobility
A sign that the implant may not have fused properly with the bone or that surrounding bone has deteriorated.
Mechanical Problems
Issues with screws, abutments, or the crown itself can affect stability and function.
Gum Recession Around Implants
Exposed implant posts can create aesthetic concerns and increase sensitivity.
Bone Loss
Loss of bone around the implant threatens long-term support and needs to be addressed quickly.
No matter the issue, early diagnosis and treatment are key to protecting your implant.
Recognizing the Signs of Trouble
Many patients wonder when to call their dentist about an implant concern. Warning signs may include:
Persistent pain or discomfort near the implant
Swelling, redness, or bleeding of the gums
Loosening of the crown or implant
Changes in how your bite feels
Visible threads of the implant post
Bad breath or taste near the implant site
If you experience any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Prompt evaluation at Precision Periodontal and Implant Center can make the difference between saving your implant and replacing it entirely.

Treating implant problems requires both skill and precision. At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, we use evidence-based techniques to restore implant health whenever possible. Options may include:

Surgical Intervention
