A receding gum line can cause the implant to protrude, but it also can lead to tension on other implants as they're shredding away on the bone. Receding gums can cause loose implants if they pull the implant into the bone. Using the correct type of dental implant, plenty of dental retreatment and oral hygiene can help prevent or correct it before it becomes a more significant issue. Typically, loose implants mean the bone is too porous. To prevent being pulled into the bone and breaking loose, one needs enough material around it to fill in gaps from wear and tear. The ideal location for a dental implant is where bone meets the tooth, so no one else will see it.
An abutment is a part that links the implant screw to the artificial crown. It sticks out of the gum, and the crown is fitted on it. If the abutment is not well suited to the implant screw, it will start to feel loose.
The crown is attached to the root with cement. Sometimes, the seal can break and cause the crown to be unglued, making it lose.
Gum disease around the implant can cause it to be a loss. The infection on the gum eats away the jawbone that holds the implant in place. This also deteriorates the bone causing bone loss. If left untreated, the implant will fall off as nothing holds it together. To avoid gum disease, ensure oral hygiene is good. Brush and floss teeth regularly.
Dental implants can feel loose due to failed osseointegration. Osseointegration is the action in which the implant bond with jawbone cells. If the bond is not secure, the implant will feel loose. Failed osseointegration may occur if; the body has a weak healing system that jeopardises the process and if the surgery occurs under undue pressure.
