Implant Removal

Implant removal is a surgical procedure performed when a dental implant fails, becomes loose, or causes complications. This may be necessary due to implant infection (peri-implantitis), poor osseointegration, bone loss, or mechanical failure.

The procedure involves carefully extracting the implant while preserving as much bone as possible. In many cases, a bone graft may be placed to restore lost bone and prepare the site for a future implant replacement. Healing time varies depending on the patient’s bone condition and overall oral health.

Timely removal of a failing implant helps prevent further complications, supports healthy bone regeneration, and ensures long-term success for future restorations.
