Treatment options for dental implant failures and complications
Your treatment recommendation will be personalized to your specific situation and depend on various factors. For example:
- What is the source of the issue?
- How early did we catch the problem?
- Can we address the issue without removing the implant?
- What lifestyle factors come into play?
In general, there are a few ways to fix an implant:
- Stabilize the existing implant
