Although it is uncommon, a dental implant can fall out. This might occur due to any of the following reasons:

• An implant is placed before necessary healing times are complete.
• The dentist uses low-quality implants.
• An infection causes bone around the implant to weaken.
• An implant is placed without enough bone to support it.
• An implant is improperly placed.

Patients need to make sure they choose an implant specialist who is experienced and who uses only the highest-quality implant materials. If a patient notices the implant is loose after the healing period, they should contact their dentist right away. They may need to get the implant replaced.
