Since implants are integrated with the jawbone, in case of failure in the application or poor application, side effects may be seen. Even more implants in the mouth than the patient needs may cause adverse effects.

Implants produced with the bone-friendly titanium element have recently started to be made with other substances.

If the implanted patient has problems such as gingival recession, the roots of the implant teeth may be exposed. In this case, bacterial accumulation and infection develops. Oral and dental care must be done carefully to prevent bacterial formation and to not jeopardize implant teeth.
