Do Dental Implants Break?

Dental implants are generally made of extremely durable and strong materials. However, in some cases it is possible for implants to break, but this is extremely rare. Inadequate jawbone support can cause the tissues around the implant to become weak and increase the risk of fracture. Excessive load due to the material used or incorrect prosthetic planning may cause implant breakage. Another reason is a heavy blow to the implant. It may also occur due to chronic loads caused by teeth clenching. If your implant is broken, it is possible to remove the broken piece and graft the weakened jawbone and re-implant the area. All implants used in our clinic are under a lifetime warranty by the implant companies.
