February 2015 Mangum Dental Mouth-of-the-Month

Failing Implants

This patient came to Mangum Dental with a concern about her dental implants placed on the lower right jaw.  Upon examination we saw that two implants supporting four teeth were failing.  The only option was to remove the implants. This patient was referred to Dr. Jason Campbell at to have the implants removed, the jawbone widened, and new implants placed.  After the surgery and the healing we placed three teeth on three implants.  This procedure took about a year to complete and the outcome was successful.
