A dental implant is an artificial root placed in the jawbone to replace a lost tooth. A dental implant is a screw or bolt made of a durable, biocompatible material, usually a titanium alloy.

Dental implants are one of the most common and effective tooth loss treatments in dentistry. Implants replace missing teeth, restoring tooth function and providing an aesthetic appearance. Implants are also an option that does not rely on adjacent healthy teeth, so they do not damage the teeth.

Symptoms of a non-performing dental implant may include:

Pain: A poorly fitting dental implant often causes pain. There may be a constant feeling of discomfort or sharp pain at the implant site. This pain may be felt in the area where the implant was placed or around the jaw.

Inflammation and Swelling: Signs of infection or inflammation may occur around a maladjusted dental implant, including redness, swelling, tenderness and increased warmth.

Healing Problems: There is normally a healing process after dental implant surgery. However, in the case of a non-adherent implant, the healing process may be delayed or incomplete. Problems with wound healing may be an indication that the implant is not adhering.

Mobility: A dental implant should normally be solid and stable. However, a poorly fitting implant may cause a slight movement or looseness to be felt over the implant. This may indicate that the implant is not properly integrated with the jawbone.

Sounds: A poorly fitting dental implant may make clicking or popping noises when chewing or speaking. This could mean that the implant is not properly integrated with the jawbone and is shifting out of place.

Implant Height: A poorly fitting dental implant may not align properly with the other teeth. There may be a significant difference or asymmetry in the gum level around the implant.
