FAILED DENTAL IMPLANTS
We can help you with your Failed Dental Implants
What are Failed Dental Implants?
A dental implant failure occurs when the implant, which is a titanium or zirconia post surgically placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth, does not successfully integrate with the bone or encounters complications that prevent it from functioning properly. Implant failure can happen soon after the surgery (early failure) or years later (late failure).
Common Causes of Implant Failure:
Poor Osseointegration: This occurs when the implant does not properly fuse with the jawbone. Factors like insufficient bone density, improper implant placement, or early excessive force on the implant can cause this issue.
Infection: An infection around the implant site, known as peri-implantitis, can lead to bone loss and implant failure. This may result from poor oral hygiene, smoking, or other underlying health conditions.
Overloading: Applying too much force on the implant too soon, before it has fully integrated with the bone, can cause it to fail. This can happen if a patient is not careful with their diet during the healing period or if the prosthetic is improperly fitted.
Nerve or Tissue Damage: In some cases, the implant may be placed too close to a nerve or cause damage to surrounding tissues, leading to pain, numbness, or failure of the implant.
Rejection: Although rare, the body might reject the implant, especially if the patient has an allergy to the metal used in the implant.
What Can Be Done If an Implant Fails?
If a dental implant fails, it's important to address the issue promptly. Here are some steps that can be taken:
- Remove the Failed Implant: The first step is usually to remove the failed implant to prevent further complications or damage to the surrounding bone and tissue.
- Bone Grafting: If there is significant bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary to rebuild the jawbone before attempting to place a new implant.
- Address the Underlying Cause: It's crucial to identify and correct the underlying cause of the failure. This could involve improving oral hygiene, managing medical conditions, quitting smoking, or ensuring proper implant placement.
- Reattempt Implant Placement: After adequate healing and preparation, a new implant may be placed. This time, the dentist or oral surgeon will take extra precautions to avoid the factors that contributed to the initial failure.
- Alternative Solutions: If a new implant is not a viable option, alternative treatments like a dental bridge or removable dentures may be considered.
Regular follow-ups with your dentist and maintaining good oral hygiene can help prevent implant failure and ensure the long-term success of dental implants.
See why Dr. Connor Van gets 5 Star Reviews on Google!
Dr. Van is awesome I did my research and I can tell you. Every one do not take their time with you it's all about money with some. I went to two other dental specialists. But the outcome was very disappointing.The whole team treated me very well at Ashley Dental. They took their time with me and explained the procedure. I feel like, I am gaining my confidence back. If I could give them a 10 star 💫 Rating I would gladly do so Thank you 🙏
Dr Van was extremely professional, prompt, and courteous during my exam and subsequent extraction. Same day appointment without having to call off work was great. A little pricey, but that's American medicine (dentistry) for you. I would highly recommend using Dr Van in any dental needs.
I can't say enough of my experience with Dr. Connor Van and his team at Ashley Park Dental. I've been to several consultations and I just didn't feel like anything but a number. I was frustrated and then my husband found Dr. Van. I was reluctant to go, but I did. I am so glad I did. He is a young Dr. Who is more gifted than some of the more mature Dr's. Everything is done on site and I felt no pain. I have severe PTSD from a past experience. I guarantee you won't be disappointed with Dr. Van.
Dr. Van is a kind, caring, and professional doctor. On more than one occasion, Dr. Van has had me come in so that he and the staff may address my concerns. He consistently relieves my dental anxieties. Thank you so much.
Great Dentist as well as the staff. If you need to make an appointment they can find time to get you quickly. They work that you may need is also with a quick turnaround like if you need a bridge or other major work done. He's better than the VA with being seen as I've had the VA cancel four back to back appointments in a two year timeframe in which I did not see the VA dentist at all for anything. All my work was done at Ashley Park Dental. If I can get the VA to stay out in the Community with him, this would be want I would want.
Excellent support and professionalism at Ashley Park Dental today. Dr Von and his entire staff were very friendly, professional, and most effective in dealing with my dental needs (included two cavities, a crown removal and temporary replacement, as well as X-rays and teeth cleaning). This is a clean and pleasant facility, and I was very relaxed in this atmosphere for these procedures. I really enjoyed the rapid appointment and effective work done today. Most strongly recommend this facility for all your dental needs.
Ok how do I define awesome in a person?? Oh oh hold on I got it Dr. Conner Van that's his name. I went to see Dr. Van about me being a qualified candidate for the all on 4 procedure. He and his team treated me like family and I've never felt more comfortable in my life about seeing a dentist. When it came down to my procedure they took so much caution and care and they talk you thru it until the last stitch I can write a whole lot more about the treatment and this procedure but I will let you find out for yourself and one more thing when you need info or guidance the dental assistant. Thank you all so much.
I recently visited Ashley Park Dental and must say Dr. Connor and his staff are very professional and efficient. Dr. Connor took the time to explain the procedure to me, addressing all my concerns and patiently answering my questions. His depth of knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the consultation, leaving me feeling very confident. I highly recommend Dr. Connor's office for all complex dental work.

I easily rate Ashley Park Dental with 5 stars so far. I have been looking to get implants but haven't been able to afford them. I set up for a consultation on a 2 implant over denture. The customer service was excellent and Dr Van was very down to earth and comfortable to talk with. I'm now awaiting approval for financing then I will proceed with the procedure. I'm confident that I will be happy with the results.
Aussie Traveller Review - Hey there, Overseas Travelers! Our family of 4 is currently enjoying a brilliant holiday in Orlando, exploring all the Disney World magic, when suddenly, my wife chips her tooth - talk about bad timing! We were freaking out about the crazy expensive medical stuff in America, but guess what? We called this awesome clinic "Ashley Park Dental " and got to chat with Dr. Connor! He arranged a same-day appointment for us, and let me tell you, it was hands down the best decision we made! Quick 20min Lyft from Disney Springs and With some X-rays and a temporary filling, he made sure we could get back to having a blast on our holiday without my wife being in any pain. So affordable I'm not even going to worry about claiming it back through travel insurance. Seriously, can't recommend him enough!
I have been seeing Dr Connor Van since I retired in 2015 (could never get an appt at the VA). This office always kept me up to date on my appts. Dr Conner Van has completed an implant, fixed a number of prior mishaps on my teeth. He recently completed a crown on my upper right. I can safely say you gotta be really good to pry me away from this office. I am always comfortable, entertained and well informed at all times. My wife has not even been a patient as yet and she looks forward to cleaned at this facility. Very flexible scheduling and communication to notch patient care.
GREAT office for implant procedures. Staff and doctor are friendly, considerate, knowledgeable and super accommodating. Doctor Van helped me understand every part of the procedure and really calmed my nerves for my first ever implant. I expected pain from this procedure, but got zero pain the whole way through, even after the numbness wore off and even a few days after the procedure. I was shocked at how pleasant this office and staff made everything and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for implants.
