I'm considering getting dental implants, but I'm worried about side effects and complications. I've heard that they can cause nerve damage and even bone loss. And other problems like infection and breaking. Are they worth the risks?
Answer: Dental implants have a high success rate While risks exist with virtually everything, most risks with implants are very low if done correctly. Nerve damage can happen even with anesthetic usage, but the risk is low.

Answer: Its safe to do dental implants With proper planning and digitally guided treatment protocol nerve damage and other things can be prevented, and with proper maintenance bone loss and other things can be minimized, and the bone loss will otherwise also take without any implants or rather to a larger extent

Answer: Implant complications With any procedure, there are always risks of complications and your doctor should go over these in detail (and provide in paper for you on a consent form) before starting the procedure. However, implants are a highly successful procedure and things like nerve damage are very uncommon. The most common failures associated with implants are gum disease around the implant from poor hygiene or smoking.

Answer: Very Straight Forward Find the right dentist/surgeon and work up the right treatment plan, you'll be great. The most common complication of implant is "failure" or not integrating with the adjacent bone structure. There are so many variables that can promote implant failing, the most important one is smoking. Recent research have shown that smoking doesn't contribute to implant failing as we all once thought it did, but nonetheless smoking is not healthy for any part of the body. Bone resorption is a natural process of bone healing so once the implant is placed, the bone around the top of the implant will melt away slightly, but that side effect is well worth all the positive perks that comes with your new dental implant (preserves your bone mass, give you a foundation for a tooth replacement, etc.). Forget about nerve damage, find a dentist/surgeon that has 3D imaging (Cone-Bean CT). I use this newer technology to map out where your nerve is so I know what size implant to get for you and where to place that implant. Find the right provider is the key!
