I have already had one dental implant fail. I would say thus was around five years ago. I have a gap that I had for some years and decided to get an implant to fill it. I had it fitted and then unfortunately it did take, it was wobbling from the start. The clinic I went to was overseas and communication was limited. I don’t think, in hinsight it was a very good idea. I am unsure as to why the implant failed but five years on I was wondering if I could try again at a clinic near by to see if it can be successful this time. Is it possible or is it a one time only? Like once you’ve tried once is that it? I know I made a huge mistake. It was a waste of time and money, and it was pretty uncomfortable too. Cheers for help on this.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
It certainly is possible to assess you for another dental implant. Just because one has failed some years ago does not mean that the conditions will not be right now. However, you must prepare yourself for the fact that it may still not be possible. Ensuring that you attend a reputable clinic will help as they can use the latest technology to examine you. It is quite possible that you were suffering from gum problems or that you did not have strong enough bone in the jaw to support the implant. If it is a bone density issue, then you may be suitable for a bone graft to strengthen the anchor point for the implant. This course of action does take longer but gives you a much better chance of success. It is certainly worth you enquiring again to find out more. Best of luck to you.
