Hi Melody,

That's a good question!

Dental implants will fail for a number of reasons. Here are a few...
...Any new or residual infection in the jawbone from a previously extracted tooth or teeth could prevent the implant from integrating with the jawbone.
...Inadequate bone to hold the implant. The bone has to be healthy and have enough depth, width and heighth to hold an implant.
...Unsterile conditions during the implant surgery resulting in infection.
...The dental implants take time to integrate with the bone. If the restorative process is started too early, the pressure from the dental work on the implant can cause the implant to become loose and ultimately fail.
...Inexperienced dentist who doesn't torque the implant down into the jawbone properly.

There's more, but those are the most common ones that I can think of!
