Why Do Dental Implants Fail?

The most common cause of dental implant failure is a condition called “peri-implantitis.” This is an infection that develops when harmful bacteria destroy the connective tissue from around the dental implant, weakening the supporting jawbone structure. Most of the time, this happens due to poor dental hygiene and untreated gum disease. Some other possible causes of dental implant failure include injury, failed osseointegration, and medication conditions, like uncontrolled diabetes and osteoporosis.
