What Are the Disadvantages of Dental Implants?
Like every surgical procedure, dental implants have their disadvantages and complications. The most common risks associated with dental implants include pain, inflammation, and infection. Your periodontist will explain how these risks can be controlled to help your situation. It would help to note that medical complications related to dental implants are rare, and usually minor when they occur. Another con of dental implants is the cost. If you don’t have sufficient bone for your periodontist to insert the implant disturb, you may need a bone or gum grafting procedure [1], which could elevate the cost of the procedure. This is a significant disadvantage.
