Implant : When an implant begins to fail, your body reacts with an inflammatory response resulting in bone loss around the implant. Subsequent removal of the implant can result in further bone loss. Bone grafting will restore the lost bone in anticipation of your implant.

Implant failure: An implant that fails during the initial first few weeks of placement will result in very little loss of bone, and healing is quick allowing for another implant to be placed. An implant that becomes integrated and restored, and then starts losing crestal bone over a period of years will result in a deepening crater and substantial bone loss. Infections change everything.
