“How do you fix a failed implant?”

Most often, the implant is removed, the area bone grafted and several months of healing to see if placing an implant can be redone. Not always.

Dear Reader, Great question.  Unfortunately, if your implant truly failed, where it's not healed to the bone, removing it is the only option. The good news is another can be placed. Depending on the condition of your jaw, it may be able to place another during the same appointment as the removal. If not, your doctor may choose to perform a bone graft and place the new implant at a later time. Hope this helps.
