Dr. Gregg Weinstein, DDS • February 22, 2025

If you need a trusted dental expert in Boca Raton or surrounding areas, Boca Dental provides expert dental implant care, helping patients achieve long-term success with their implants.

In this video, Dr. Gregg explains why dental implants fail and how patients can prevent it. While dental implant failure is rare, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to complications and how proper screening, maintenance, and care can ensure lasting results.

Why Do Dental Implants Fail?

Although dental implants have a high success rate, certain factors can contribute to failure. Dr. Gregg emphasizes the importance of thorough health screenings before implant placement. Patients with predisposed conditions may be at higher risk, including those with:

Diabetes – Poorly controlled blood sugar can affect healing and implant integration.
Osteoporosis – Weak bones can reduce the implant’s ability to fuse properly.
Gum Disease – A history of periodontal disease can increase the risk of implant complications.
Family History of Dental Issues – Genetic factors can affect long-term implant stability.

Preventing Dental Implant Failure

To ensure the best possible outcome, Boca Dental follows strict protocols to assess a patient’s suitability for implants and provide personalized care. Preventive steps include:

Comprehensive Health Screenings – Evaluating overall health before implant placement.
Customized Treatment Plans – Designing an approach that meets individual needs.
Patient Education on Home Care – Teaching proper oral hygiene practices to maintain implants.
Routine Dental Check-Ups – Monitoring implant health and ensuring long-term success.

The Importance of Implant Maintenance

Caring for dental implants is just as important as caring for natural teeth. Dr. Gregg explains that proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups play a key role in implant longevity. Patients should:

Brush and floss their implants daily to prevent plaque buildup.
Schedule biannual dental visits for professional cleanings and evaluations.
Follow dentist recommendations for maintaining gum health and implant stability.
