My all-on-4 bridge is loose. How long can I wait before it causes damage to one or all implants?

I have had the all-on-4 dental implants for 3 years now with no problem. After eating something soft, my upper bridge started to wobble - no other symptoms. I'm hoping it's just a loose screw. I have three questions: 1) Would an implant fail suddenly like that after 3 years? and 2) If it's a screw loose, how long can it wait if I can't get to the dentist right away before it damages the implant and, 3) Why would a loose screw cause an osseointegrated implant to fail?
