Dental implants have a 5% failure rate, which might seem small, but with so many people getting implants, a significant number can experience this issue. Failures can happen for various reasons.

Early failures usually occur within three to four months after the implant is placed, as it integrates with the jawbone. Causes can include autoimmune disorders, allergies, infections, or certain medications.

Late failures, which occur between one to ten years after the procedure, can be due to factors like smoking, insufficient gum tissue, teeth grinding, infections, or lack of bone. Radiation treatment to the head and neck can also contribute to failure.
