Answer: Loose dental implant I would recommend getting in to your dentist as soon as possible. If there is no pain, it is likely that the abutment screw has come loose from the implant or that the crown has come loose from the abutment. Functioning on a loose screw can put stress on the screw which can eventually cause it to shear off. The movement can also cause gum irritation around the implant. Over time this can damage the bone around the implant.
