It is a rarer case that dental implant cause acne issue. Sometime tooth infection is the reason of acne but for proper consultancy you should visit dermatologist because they will better guide you in this situation.

In rare cases, allergic reactions are detected in patients with Ti dental implants. it's my advice to visit a dermatologist to check whether it's acne or allergy. If it's an allergy, removing the implant is the only option.

Dear riyaharsh:

After doing something for over 20 years, most people will tell you they have seen everything in their profession.

I have never seen Implants create any kind of adverse effect on anyone, aside of relatively infrequent nerve injuries, which are surgical complications, and there is no evidence in the literature that they can produce any of the stories done people tell, or anything else.

Check out the dermatology section, or just  make an appointment to see a dermatologist.

Best of luck,
