Thanks to our 25-years of experience, the vast majority of our dental implants are both successful and long-lasting.
Failure of dental implants is a rare occurrence.
However, there can be numerous reasons why dental implants would fail.
Dental implants are beneficial for cosmetic and functional reasons. But they can fail. Implants tend to fail when poor surgical techniques are carried out or when dentists place an implant in a jaw without inadequate bone.
“Dental Implants are a long-term, permanent teeth replacement solution and have a 95% success rate. If taken care of properly implants can often last between 10 and 25 years.” Dr Sam Jethwa
Dental Implants’ success depends on correct and continual management of certain risk factors associated with obtaining treatment.
It can be detrimental to ignore these risk factors and not take care of teeth implant treatment. Dental implants are completely safe.
Risk factors that reduce the success of dental implants
Smoking prevents and inhibits healing around the implant, especially when the surrounding gum tissues become infected.
A previous history of gum disease predisposes you to future disease if your oral hygiene is not taken care of correctly.
The design, manufacture and surface of the implant are of poor quality. There are so many different types of teeth implant systems on the market that the type of dental implant chosen must be done with extreme care. You need to have the correct procedure that is compatible with your mouth.

When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth.
The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.
