My 2021 full-mouth reconstruction included implants, crowns, and veneers. I think several of the implant teeth are infected, and two crowns have fallen off. My gums are swollen, and it hurts to chew. Unfortunately, the dentist relocated, and I cannot find a current listing for him. I am concerned that another dentist must replace my implants and that I will need a repeat full-mouth reconstruction. I do not know where to begin, and my anxiety level is increasing because I am afraid that I will need implant surgery again and who knows what else. \u2013 Thank you. Vadim from IL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vadim,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are sorry to hear about your horrible experience. You certainly do not want the dentist doing additional dental work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infection Around Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Infection around dental implants is peri-implantitis, a form of gum disease that can lead to dental implant failure. Signs and symptoms of infection include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleeding around the implants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty chewing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loose implants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain, aches, or discomfort around the implant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pus around the implants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red or puffy gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visible implant threads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment for Infection Around Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the extent of the infection around your dental implants, treatment options may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Antibiotics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Antimicrobial therapy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laser therapy for your gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surgery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find a Skilled Implant Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you need to find a new dentist. But look for a dentist with advanced implant training or who <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/dental-implants-plano.html\">partners with an oral surgeon or periodontist<\/a> to complete implant surgery. A highly trained implant dentist or surgeon will explain your options. You can also discuss your anxiety level and ask about <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/sedation-dentist-plano.html\">sedation options to keep you relaxed<\/a> throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-lacy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-lacy.jpg\" alt=\"Man on beach portraying sedation dentistry, available form Plano, TX female dentist Dr. Miranda Lacy\" class=\"wp-image-1709\" width=\"247\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-lacy.jpg 430w, https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-lacy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/sedation-dentistry-plano-tx-lacy-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sedation can help you relax throughout dental procedures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is essential for your new implant dentist or surgeon to perform a 3-D x-ray (CT) for a detailed view of your jawbone and oral anatomy and identify the cause of the problems with your dental implants. Please only trust providers who are willing to perform a CT scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best wishes for a smooth recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/mirandalacydds.com\/meet-dr-lacy.html\">Plano, Texas, female dentist<\/a> Dr. Miranda Lacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think my dental implants are failing.
