After living with missing teeth<\/a>, you\nwere finally able to have your smile and functionality restored to normal with\nthe placement of a dental implant. However, your high expectations have been\ndampened a bit. You\u2019ve been experiencing pain sensations and you\u2019d like to know\nwhat\u2019s the cause of your dental implant tooth sensitivity in Rockville. As you\ncontinue reading, a local implant dentist provides the clarity you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Should You Have Dental Implant Tooth Sensitivity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Typically, after an implant has properly fused (called\nosseointegration) with the existing jawbone, there shouldn\u2019t be any sensations felt\nfrom an implant-retained prosthetic. That\u2019s because there are no nerves or\nligaments involved in the attachment to the underlying bone. If there is continued\npain or discomfort, then it could be a warning sign of a failing implant or gum\ninfection from excess crown cement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can Cause a Dental Implant to Fail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants in Rockville can fail for a host of reasons,\none of which is peri-implantitis (gum infection). This type of infection, which\ncan form around the implant and inside the gums, is usually the result of poor\noral hygiene following dental implant insertion. Eventually, it can lead to\nbone loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another possible contributor to problems is a failed\nintegration with the existing bone. This often happens with patients with diminished\njawbone density or who have suffered dental trauma after the implant is placed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often times, the remedy is for a dentist to remove the current\nimplant, treat the infection and then place a new implant. However, the restoration\nsteps taken will ultimately depend on your specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Problem with Excessive Crown Cement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If too much dental cement is used to secure an implant\ncrown, a condition called cement pericementitis can develop. The typical remedy\nis to have a surgical procedure performed on the gum tissue that surrounds the\nimplant abutment, with the purpose of removing any extra cement that may be\ncausing the inflammation. If the issue is identified and treated early enough, the\ncurrent implant could possibly be left in-tact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Importance of Being Proactive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It takes time to heal from dental implant placement, but\nthere should be noticeable progress as you go along. If you continue to experience\ndiscomfort for months after your implant is placed, then you should bring it to\nthe attention of your implant dentist in Rockville. Therefore, swift action can\nbe taken to rectify the problem in the least invasive manner possible. With the\nright care, you can soon proceed with a normal and happy life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
