Dental implant removal
Removal of an implant that cannot be retained after assessment. Inflammation around an implant does not mean removal is necessary in every case.
About Service
Removal may be needed after an unfavourable treatment outcome or when the surrounding tissue condition makes retention inappropriate. Assessment distinguishes treatable problems from a poor prognosis.
Peri-implant disease requires an appropriate treatment and maintenance plan. Removal is an individual decision, and the possibility of replacement or a need for bone reconstruction is assessed separately.
What the treatment or procedure involves
- Assessment of the implant and surrounding tissues.
- Discussion of retention or removal.
- The procedure and separate planning of subsequent rehabilitation.
Important considerations
- Postoperative discomfort, infection and a need for additional tissue surgery are possible.
- The possibility of replacement with another implant is assessed individually.
Information helps prepare for a consultation and does not replace an individual diagnosis. The dentist determines the procedure, materials and timing after assessment.
Indications
- An implant with an unfavourable retention prognosis after clinical assessment.
- Failed integration or other confirmed complications requiring removal.
Contraindications
- The possibility of retaining the implant has not been assessed.
- Bleeding, adjacent-structure and healing risks require an individual plan.
Advantages
- Removal of an implant that cannot be retained.
- A basis for reassessing the future tooth-replacement plan.
