My dental implant has come out after 20/30 years can I just refit it with say super glue?

Hi:Normally, a failed implant can not be reimplanted.  However, for more accurate advice please post xrays and photo of the affected area.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hello and thank you for your question. I don’t recommend this. The best way to answer this would be with an in-person consultation where they can go over your options. There are several steps in creating dental implants. The Provisional (Temporary Crowns) are critical in finalizing the esthetics and look of the final restorations (Permanent Crowns).  During the Provisional phase the shape, contour arrangement, position and color of the teeth can be tried and assessed to make sure you like the results. Then the temporary crowns can be used as a template for making the permanent crowns this will ensure the subsequent crown matches the color and shape of the surrounding teeth so and once it is placed will fit in naturally with the rest of your teeth. I recommend getting a consultation with a prosthodontist to determine if you’re a candidate. A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth and can create a customized treatment using the latest techniques in dental implants.

It is not advised to do any do it yourself dentistry. In this and any situation super glue does not work and could actually cause harm. If your implant it out of your bone you should visit a dentist and have it inspected as soon as possible. From your description I'm guessing its actually the crown on top of the implant. For this scenario leave the crown off and visit your dentist as they can hopefully just re-cement it on as long as there are not any other complications.
