Implant removal

When an implant has to come out

Implants do fail sometimes. If yours is loose, sore or infected, it can be removed, and in most cases the site can be rebuilt and a new implant placed later.

The three things worth knowing first

The usual reasons

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.

What tells you something is wrong

Not every ache means failure. But these are worth a scan rather than a wait.

  • The implant or the tooth on it feels loose
  • The gum around it is sore, red or bleeding
  • There is a bad taste or smell that will not clear
  • The gum has receded and metal is showing

If you were treated elsewhere

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.

YOUR OPTIONS

If something feels wrong

Most problems are fixable, and the earlier they are looked at, the more options there are.

THE PROCEDURE

Procedure — interactive step-through

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.

Finding out what is wrong

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.

YOUR OPTIONS

Not every gap needs the same solution

Titanium implant and crown

From £745

The standard route. A Camlog or Straumann implant, an abutment, and a zirconia crown from our own laboratory.

Ceramic, metal-free

From €1,700

A two-piece ceramic implant with a zirconia crown, for patients who want no metal in the mouth at all. Very few clinics in Europe offer this.

Immediate implant

From €1,000

Where bone quality is good and the tooth is coming out anyway, the implant can go in at the same visit with a temporary crown straight away.

THE COST

We publish our price list

Removal itself is one of the smaller charges on our list. What it costs to put right afterwards depends on what is left behind.

Not sure whether you need an implant at all?

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.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Single implants, answered

How do I know if my implant is failing?

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.

temporary options during healing.

send a scan through the free assessment and we will tell you what we can do.

Most often infection in the surrounding gum and bone, an implant that never gripped properly, or too much load from the bite. Smoking makes all of it more likely.

Usually not, and it is not a useful question. What matters is what can be done now.
