No procedure in Dentistry or surgery is risk-free. It is important to be aware of potential risks so that you are able to make an informed decision when considering Dental Implants. An experienced and honest Dental Implantologist will always ensure that the procedure is justified in your best interest and never carry out dental implant surgery if the risk of failure or complications is high. Common risks and complications include:
- Dental Pain
- Dental Implant Infection
- Receding Gums around Implant Crowns or Bridges
- Bleeding Gums around Dental Implants
- Nerve damage following surgery, which can cause numbness, tingling or chronic neuropathic pain
- Damage to adjacent teeth or anatomical structures.
- Screw loosening of Dental Implants
- Implant Screw Fracture
- Implant crown or bridge Fracture
This is not a complete list; however, I can confirm the above risks and complications are negligible when you undertake Dental Implants with a confident and highly experienced Dental Implantologist. People are more likely to encounter unnecessary risks and complications when seeking cheap dental treatment or trusting inexperienced dental surgeons.
In conclusion, at Bespoke Dental & Implant Clinic, I am the Lead Dental Implant Surgeon and providing Dental Implants is my passion and art. I never provide dental implants if I do not see a clear and successful outcome for the patient. It is not in my interest or the patient’s interest to undertake dental implant surgery if the risks outweigh the benefits. I have undertaken an extensive training career and completed the entire procedure in-house. I am trained in providing the surgery and restorative aspects, which is very important to me as I am totally in control of the outcome, and I love to see the patient journey through from A-Z followed up with routine annual reviews.
