Only a small percentage of dental implant patients experience complications, and such are easily fixed. It is the responsibility of the patient to closely stick to his dental check-ups and follow-ups, and maintain his dental hygiene as prescribed by the dentist to avoid complications. If anything goes wrong, the patient should immediately inform his dentist to avoid further problems.
Some of the possible complications are: dental implant infection, rejection, overload, failure, bone loss, inflammation and incision line opening. To avoid these, biting pressure should be reduced during the healing period. Regular X-rays should also be done to monitor the development of bone around the implant.
