Does it hurt to remove an implant?

Is it possible to save the implant if it does it hurt?

Depends on the cause and stage. Early peri-implantitis is treated without removal. If the bone has decreased significantly or the implant moves, it will not be possible to save it. The doctor evaluates this by CT scan, not by eye.

How long does healing take?

The soft tissues close in 1-2 weeks. 3–6 months is the standard waiting period before re-implantation.

Can a new implant be placed in the same place?

In most cases, yes. The doctor determines the timing and need for bone grafting after assessing the volume of the remaining bone.

Why are implants rejected in the first place?

Systemic diseases, smoking, poor hygiene, installation errors, insufficient primary stability. It is important to find out the reason before re-implantation - so that history does not repeat itself. place.

Removal of a dental implant in Tashkent

Why does an implant sometimes have to be removed

There are several reasons, and they all differ in severity and prognosis.

Peri-implantitis - inflammation around the implant, which gradually destroys the bone. The most common reason for removal. At an early stage, it can be treated without surgery, at a later stage - the bone decreases so much that the implant is no longer suitable hold.

Rejection - the implant does not fuse with the bone during the period of osseointegration. Manifested by mobility of the structure, pain when chewing and swelling that does not go away for weeks.

Fracture of the implant or abutment - a rare situation, but unambiguous: a broken structure. removed.

Incorrect position - if the implant is installed at the wrong angle or too close to the nerve, this interferes with normal prosthetics or causes constant discomfort.

Chronic pain for no apparent reason - if the implant has formally taken root, but is bothersome - this is a signal for inspection.

Removal is not always the first answer

Pain and inflammation around the implant are frightening, but do not always lead to removal. Peri-implantitis in the initial stage is treated conservatively: they clean the pocket around the implant, prescribe therapy, correct hygiene. The doctor looks at the CT scan and assesses how much bone is preserved. If the loss is small, the structure can be saved. If the bone If more than half the length of the implant has decreased and it has begun to move, removal becomes the only reasonable solution.

That is why at the first symptoms you should go for an examination and not wait. The early stage provides more opportunities.

How the procedure works

Diagnostics

The doctor examines the oral cavity and studies the CT image. Diagnocat analyzes the image in parallel with the doctor and helps to accurately assess the volume of bone around the implant and the condition of the surrounding tissues. If you have images from another clinic, take them from yourself.

Assessment and plan

The doctor explains why removal is necessary and immediately discusses what will happen next: when a new implant can be placed and whether preliminary preparation is needed.

Extraction implant

Passed under local anesthesia. The doctor uses a special instrument - a trephine or a reverse scan. It takes 30-60 minutes depending on the degree of healing and the condition of the bone. If you are worried, we will do it in sedation or medicated sleep.

Treatment sockets

In case of inflammation, the doctor cleans the socket from the affected tissue. If necessary, installs bone material to preserve the volume for re-implantation.

Observation

The doctor gives recommendations for care and prescribes a follow-up examination in 10–14 days.

What will happen after removal

In most cases, a new implant can be installed in the same place.

If the bone is well preserved, a new implant is placed 3-4 months after the hole has healed. If the loss is significant, a [bone plastic surgery](https://kan.uz/services/implantatsiya-bez-kostnoy-plastiki), then re-installation is planned.
