Problems With Loose Tooth Implant? What should you do if one of your dental implants feels loose? Does my loose dental implant need to be replaced? Why does my dental implant feel loose? Will dental implants affect my remaining teeth?
Dental Implants feel weird at first but don’t try to rock your implant.
But if you notice that an implant seems to be loose , it could be that it’s failing, though there are other possibilities. In some cases, an implant can loosen after years. The most common reasons for implants that become loose after multiple years include: Not enough implants are supporting the teeth, which causes extra stress on the implant. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that a loose-feeling implant is necessarily failing.
Instea the crown on the dental implant could be loose. Otherwise, it might be the crown itself that is damaged. Implants are supported by (and attached to) an abutment, a titanium cylinder that connects the replacement tooth root to the crown.
If your dental implant feels a little wobbly, the problem could be a loose abutment connection. Implant dentistry is very complex, and the lay public cannot be expected to know all of the possible parts.
