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.
