  1. 5 Problems Associated with Dental Implants – Lake Oswego Dentist

  2. Are you looking for a dentist in Lake Oswego? Residents of Oswego, Oregon have long trusted us to treat dental related problems such as dental implants. Over the years, we have seen numerous complications as a result of dental operations gone wrong or other factors that result into poor teeth hygiene. 1. Unsuccessful Osseo integration Osseo integration is basically the connection between the implant and the person’s bone structure. An implant is considered to have failed Osseo integration of using with the bone structure if after a year, there are signs of bone loss exceeding 1 mm. Unsuccessful Osseo integration can be as a result of inadequate bone volume and density, tissue damage, wrong positioning of implant and implant fracture.

  3. 2. Infection Otherwise referred to as Peri-implantitis, infection can occur as early as during the procedure. Presence of bacteria during surgery and or after the surgery causes Peri-implantitis. Lake Oswego dentists have encountered this complication with patients that have swollen gums and bone area. Smoking, diabetes, and poor oral hygiene are accredited as major factors that cause Peri-implantitis. It is a complication that will happen months or even up to years after the surgery. 3. Tissue Damage Nerves surrounding the implant can be damaged during or after the surgery due to poor dental hygiene, however, in most cases, nerve and tissue damage are as a result of getting sensitive procedures from inexperienced dentists.

  4. Signs of nerve and tissue damage are cheek, gum, tongue, and lip numbness and tooth sensitivity. It is, therefore, important to choose a professional and experienced dentist in Lake Oswego. 4. Overloading As a Lake Oswego dentist, I know this all too well. Patients have come to us complaining of sore gums and severe pain. Overloading is when a dental practitioner undertakes an implant procedure and immediate loading during the same procedure. Normally, it takes two procedures to perform loading. Overloading causes stress on the bone structure, hence Osseo integration is impeded. Being a Lake Oswego dentist, I recommend not getting immediate loading if your bone mass is insufficient.

  5. 5. Sinus Complications This complication mostly affects patients with sinus issues. Patients that have insufficient bone mass are also likely to encounter this problem. It is as a result of the implant encroaching the sinus cavity during the procedure. As a dentist in Lake Oswego, I recommend that patients inform doctors of sinus problems before the surgery. Corrective surgery can be performed in the event that a patient experiences sinus complications. If you are looking for a trusted Lake Oswego dentist, then you must visit our offices today or call us to book an appointment for a dental checkup.
