What are the risks and complications associated with dental implants?

    While dental implants are generally safe, there are some risks and complications that seniors should be aware of:

  • Infection at the implant site
  • Damage to neighboring teeth or blood vessels
  • Failure of the implant to integrate with the jawbone
  • Temporary or permanent numbness or tingling in the chin, lips, or tongue
  • Sinus problems if implants placed in the upper jaw protrude into the sinus cavities
