Of all the currently available methods of replacing missing or extensively damaged teeth, none can match dental implants in terms of their stability, strength, longevity, functionality, versatility, or aesthetic appeal. Truly, dental implants represent the next best thing to having a complete set of your own natural, perfectly healthy teeth. If you are missing one or more of your natural teeth, you owe it to yourself to at least explore the possibility of undergoing dental implant surgery.
Of course, like any other form of surgery, dental implant surgery is not without its risks and potential complications. One possible risk of dental implant surgery is implant failure. Although dental implant failure is extremely rare, especially when the surgery is performed by experienced oral surgeons such as those at Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates, it can and occasionally does occur. Our surgeons discuss the possible causes of dental implant failure with patients during consultations at our Montgomery practice so that patients know the potential risks associated with implant dentistry. They also carefully screen patients to make sure that they are suitable candidates for dental implants, which helps to prevent implant failure from occurring.
