Is It Possible for My Mouth to Reject the Implant?
Studies show that the jaw readily receives the implant fixture. However, in rare cases, your body may reject the implant. Rejection of implants is usually caused by allergies to the titanium alloy that makes up the implant fixture. Implant failure may also occur due to bad hygiene after the surgery. The implants may fall out or file to heal correctly without adequate oral hygiene. It is important to take good care of your natural teeth and the implant to prevent gum decay [5] or bone loss [6].
