Dental Implant Negligence

The most common complications that can occur from a poorly fitted or failed implant can include:

• Unnecessary discomfort or pain
• Poorly positioned implants
• Damage to adjacent teeth or the mouth
• Avoidable infection in the socket
• Poor preparation and investigation of your jaw’s suitability for an implant
