Most failures come down to one of a few things: infection in the gum and bone around the implant, an implant that never gripped the bone properly, or a bite that loads it more heavily than it can take.
Occasionally the implant is fine and the problem is the crown or the bridge on top. That is worth knowing before anything is removed, because it is a much smaller job to fix.
Not every ache means failure. But these are worth a scan rather than a wait.
We see patients whose implants were placed by another clinic, in Britain or abroad. You do not need to have been treated here to be seen here.
Send us a scan through the free assessment and we will tell you what we think, including when we think the answer is to leave it alone.
Most problems are fixable, and the earlier they are looked at, the more options there are.
Honestly, the timeline varies: a new tooth can be ready within hours in the best case, or take the better part of a year in the most involved one. Step through the sequence.
A scan shows the bone around the implant. Sometimes the implant is sound and only the crown needs attention, which is a much smaller job.
Under local anaesthetic. A failed implant that has lost its grip usually comes out easily. One that is still partly attached takes more work.
The site is cleaned. Where bone has been lost, grafting material can be placed to rebuild it ready for a new implant later.
The site heals. Where a graft was placed, that takes six to nine months before anything new can go in.
Once the bone has healed, a new implant can usually be placed. We scan again first to be sure.
Removal itself is one of the smaller charges on our list. What it costs to put right afterwards depends on what is left behind.
Prices are indicative. The exact price of your treatment is worked out at your first consultation, once we have seen the X-rays. GBP figures are converted for guidance at about 427 HUF to the pound.
Send an X-ray, or three photos on your phone. A dentist will look at it and write back with a provisional plan and an indicative price — before you commit to anything, and before you book a flight.

“I was nervous about visiting an unfamiliar clinic, but I had a great experience. The clinic was clean, modern and stylish, and my doctor did an amazing job.”
“Arrival, airport pickup and appointment scheduling went very smoothly. Dr Ecsegi was highly competent, and I felt well cared for during my treatment.”
“I had been an extremely anxious patient for many years and carefully researched clinics before choosing CosmoDent. I’m incredibly happy with my experience.”
“The perfect dental clinic! Several dentists told me they couldn’t replace my two front teeth with implants following an accident—but CosmoDent helped me.”
“This was by far the best dental experience of my life. I travelled to Budapest after weeks of pain and difficult experiences with several dental clinics in Paris.”

Looseness, soreness, bleeding gum, a taste that will not clear, or gum receding to show metal. Any of those is worth a scan.
It is done under local anaesthetic. An implant that has already lost its grip usually comes out easily.
Usually yes, though rarely on the same day. The site needs to heal first, and often needs bone rebuilt, which takes six to nine months.
Not usually — we can discuss temporary options during healing.
Yes. Send a scan through the free assessment and we will tell you what we can do.
Upload a panoramic X-ray if you have one. If not, three clear phone photos are enough to start. A dentist reviews what you send and you receive a written provisional plan with an indicative price.
No obligation, no deposit, and no need to travel to find out whether an implant is even the right answer.
