Dental implants are considered a particularly durable solution for missing teeth. But if an implant suddenly hurts or moves, a quick reaction is required. In this article, you will learn what you should look out for, what causes can be behind a loose implant and what treatment options are available. We will also show you how to keep your implant stable in the long term and what you can do if a replacement becomes necessary. <\/p>\n\n

Wobbly Dental Implant: Taking Alarm Signs Seriously<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

A healthy implant is firmly attached to the jawbone. As soon as it moves, this is a serious warning signal. It is never a harmless coincidence. The following causes are possible: <\/p>\n\n

\u2022 The connection between implant and bone (osseointegration) is disturbed\u2022 Inflammation in the surrounding tissue has developed (peri-implantitis)\u2022 The dentures are incorrectly loaded or do not fit correctly\u2022 General diseases such as diabetes or smoking impair healing\u2022 The implant crown is loose, but not the implant itself<\/p>\n\n

Even if you wobble slightly, you should not wait. The sooner a dental examination is performed, the better the chances of saving the implant. <\/p>\n\n

\n

Pain around the implant: These causes are possible<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not every pain means that the implant has failed. But occasional complaints are also an indication that something is wrong. Typical triggers for pain in the implant are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Pressure points due to excessive chewing pressure\u2022 Poorly fitting or poorly brushed dentures\u2022 Bacterial inflammation in the tissue\u2022 Bone resorption in the area of the implant<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symptoms often manifest themselves as pulling, stinging or pulsating. In addition, there is redness, swelling, bleeding or unpleasant taste in the mouth. The implant often hurts, especially when chewing or brushing teeth. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Peri-implantitis: The most common cause of implant problems<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Figure 2: This graphic shows how the gums recede and the jawbone around the implant breaks down in an untreated inflammation. As a result, the implant increasingly loses its hold. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Peri-implantitis is a bacterial inflammation of the tissue around a dental implant. It is comparable to periodontitis, but often goes unnoticed and is therefore often detected too late. If left untreated, it almost always leads to the loss of the implant. <\/p>\n\n

Figure 2 illustrates advanced peri-implantitis:<\/strong> Bacteria penetrate the gap between the implant and the gums. A chronic inflammation develops, which breaks down the jawbone. As a result, the implant increasingly loses stability. <\/p>\n\n

The good news:<\/strong> If peri-implantitis is detected early, it can be stopped or even completely cured with professional cleaning, antibacterial measures and, if necessary, surgical therapy.<\/p>\n\n

What you should do immediately<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

If your implant wobbles or hurts, you should take the following measures:<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Make an appointment with your dentist or implantologist immediately\u2022 Do not chew on the affected side and avoid hard foods\u2022 Do not consciously strain the implant\u2022 Continue to clean your teeth thoroughly but carefully\u2022 Write down any symptoms, even if they are mild<\/p>\n\n

Quick action is crucial. The earlier the cause is detected, the greater the chance of preservation. <\/p>\n\n

\"Treatment<\/figure>
\n

Treatment options for a damaged implant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The appropriate therapy depends on whether there is inflammation, a technical problem or improper loading. These options are possible: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Professional tooth cleaning and antibacterial treatment\u2022 Antibiotics or laser therapy for peri-implantitis\u2022 Bone augmentation at the beginning of bone resorption\u2022 Replacement or attachment of a loosened implant crown\u2022 Adaptation or reproduction of dentures to relieve the burden<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of any treatment is to restore stability and long-term preservation of the implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid implant problems: How to protect your dentures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

A dental implant is a high-quality medical investment. To ensure that it lasts in the long term, you should follow the following recommendations: <\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Thorough daily dental care including dental floss or interdental brushes\u2022 Regular professional dental cleanings\u2022 Check-ups with the dentist every six to twelve months\u2022 Quitting smoking\u2022 Control of general diseases such as diabetes\u2022 No need to open packages or bottles with your teeth<\/p>\n\n

The better your care, the lower the risk of complications.<\/p>\n\n

If a new implant is necessary: Are there cheaper alternatives?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
