Dental Implants Can Also Be Affected By Gum Disease And Bacterial Infection    

Failure To Monitor Them May Cause The Loss Of The Implant And The Patient’s Investment    

Dental implants do not require the same care as regular teeth because they don’t have cavities. However, there are some conditions that occur in the same way as with regular teeth. One of them is periodontal disease caused by bacteria that accumulate below the gums, and bacterial plaque, which forms over the crown and can cause gum infection. Bacterial infections around implants can also affect the bone, and there is no painful sensation that can act as a warning. The patient and the dentist will know that the bone is compromised when the implant becomes loose, which can result in the loss of the implant and the patient’s investment.
