We Rescue Failed Implants
Implant loose, infected or failed at another clinic? Our experienced team can assess complications and work to restore implant function.
✓ Experienced in Complex Cases · ✓ Peri-Implantitis Treatment · ✓ No Judgement
While dental implants are highly reliable, failures can occasionally occur. This is often distressing for patients who have already invested time and money into their treatment.
A failing implant may present as loose, painful, or accompanied by swollen, bleeding gums (Peri-implantitis). Alternatively, it may be an aesthetic failure, where the implant was placed at the wrong angle or the gum has receded, revealing the metal collar.
At Dental Implants London, we serve as a referral center for complex revision cases. We have the expertise to rescue ailing implants or, if necessary, remove them safely and rebuild the site for a successful replacement.
Common Causes of Failure
Peri-implantitis
A bacterial infection similar to gum disease that destroys the bone around the implant. Often caused by poor oral hygiene or smoking.
Poor Positioning
If an inexperienced dentist places an implant where bone is thin or at a bad angle, it may not integrate or may look unnatural.
Overloading
Putting a tooth on the implant too soon before the bone has healed, or excessive grinding (bruxism) without protection.
Material Failure
Use of low-quality, non-certified implant brands or abutments that fracture under pressure.
The Signature Implant
Premium dental implants including a Zirconia crown, from £2,950 per tooth. One all-inclusive price covering the implant, abutment and crown — with no hidden extras.

Restoring Hope
We start with a comprehensive 3D CT scan to assess the extent of bone loss. Treatment varies based on the severity:
Rescue (Debridement)
For early infection, we can surgically clean the implant surface and place bone graft to stabilize it.
Removal & Grafting
If the implant is mobile, we remove it atraumatically, clean the site, and rebuild the bone for a future implant.
Replacement
After healing, a new, high-quality implant is placed with precision digital planning to prevent recurrence.
Expertise Matters
Revision surgery is more complex than initial placement. Trust your care to experienced hands.
