• Are you looking for a dentist in Lake Oswego?
  Residents of Oswego, Oregon have long trusted us
  to treat dental related problems such as dental
  implants. Over the years, we have seen numerous
  complications as a result of dental operations
  gone wrong or other factors that result into poor
  teeth hygiene.
• 1. Unsuccessful Osseo integration Osseo
  integration is basically the connection between
  the implant and the persons bone structure. An
  implant is considered to have failed Osseo
  integration of using with the bone structure if
  after a year, there are signs of bone loss
  exceeding 1 mm. Unsuccessful Osseo integration
  can be as a result of inadequate bone volume and
  density, tissue damage, wrong positioning of
  implant and implant fracture.

• 2. Infection Otherwise referred to as
  Peri-implantitis, infection can occur as early as
  during the procedure. Presence of bacteria during
  surgery and or after the surgery causes
  Peri-implantitis. Lake Oswego dentists have
  encountered this complication with patients that
  have swollen gums and bone area. Smoking,
  diabetes, and poor oral hygiene are accredited as
  major factors that cause Peri-implantitis. It is
  a complication that will happen months or even up
  to years after the surgery.
• 3. Tissue Damage Nerves surrounding the implant
  can be damaged during or after the surgery due to
  poor dental hygiene, however, in most cases,
  nerve and tissue damage are as a result of
  getting sensitive procedures from inexperienced
  dentists.

• Signs of nerve and tissue damage are cheek, gum,
  tongue, and lip numbness and tooth sensitivity.
  It is, therefore, important to choose a
  professional and experienced dentist in Lake
  Oswego.
• 4. Overloading As a Lake Oswego dentist, I know
  this all too well. Patients have come to us
  complaining of sore gums and severe pain.
  Overloading is when a dental practitioner
  undertakes an implant procedure and immediate
  loading during the same procedure. Normally, it
  takes two procedures to perform loading.
  Overloading causes stress on the bone structure,
  hence Osseo integration is impeded. Being a Lake
  Oswego dentist, I recommend not getting immediate
  loading if your bone mass is insufficient.

• 5. Sinus Complications This complication mostly
  affects patients with sinus issues. Patients that
  have insufficient bone mass are also likely to
  encounter this problem. It is as a result of the
  implant encroaching the sinus cavity during the
  procedure. As a dentist in Lake Oswego, I
  recommend that patients inform doctors of sinus
  problems before the surgery. Corrective surgery
  can be performed in the event that a patient
  experiences sinus complications.
