Are there any gum diseases or other side effects after implant surgery?

The most common complications with implants are gum inflammation known as "peri-implantitis" and mechanical issues like screw loosening or crown fracture. 1) Peri-implantitis develops when cleaning isn't thorough, so it can be prevented with interdental brushes and floss along with checkups every 6 months. 2) Mechanical issues can be reduced through careful material selection and placement angle that's designed to withstand chewing forces. However, if the gums around the implant become swollen or bleed, or if the implant feels loose, early treatment is important — please visit us right away.
