Early stage implant complications

Problems or complications from dental implants in Ealing are quite rare, but they can happen and our aim is to be as prepared as possible. Just after your operation, you may experience some pain or discomfort but this sensation will go away after a few hours. If pain persists, your dentist will provide medication. While pain and swelling are common after an operation for dental implants in Ealing, you should keep an eye out for symptoms such as infection, movement of your implants, and a sudden allergic reaction. Most of these problems can be addressed by your dentist immediately without meaning any further complications for your dental implants. However, failure to follow your dentist’s instructions can lead to complications that may be irreversible.

Late stage implant complications

In some cases, dental implants are a great success initially, yet complications can arise after a few months (or years). Long-term complications of dental implants can arise from improper oral hygiene or an injury to the area surrounding the dental implant. If your gums are inflamed, you have difficulty chewing, you can feel your dental implants move, you experience increased swelling and you are in severe pain, chances are that your dental implants have sustained damage. Smokers are also more likely to experience implant failure.

Protect your investment

Dental implants are a very safe and viable tooth replacement option with a low failure rate, but accidents happen. To ensure that your dental implants remain strong and healthy, take good care of them on a daily basis, visit your dentist and get informed on all the potential risks.
