This is a case of failed dental implant done elsewhere for a missing tooth due to trauma. She came to our dental clinic to remove the previous implant and replace the missing tooth in a single stage.
Maxillofacial Surgeon and Dental Implantologist Dr S. M. Balaji successfully removed the failed implant without any damage to the supporting bone and immediate dental implant was fixed with good stability and retention. After complete osseointegration of implant with that of the alveolar bone cosmetically well blended fixed ceramic prosthesis was given. This improved her appearance dramatically and she can able to eat well.

A 54-year-old Australian man had sought dental implant treatment elsewhere at a clinic in Chennai. Citing very cheap and attractive rates, inferior-quality implants are often advertised to lure unsuspecting patients. In one such case, this patient underwent full-mouth implant treatment at some other clinic in Chennai. Subsequently the implants failed, they began to loosen and got infected causing severe pain and difficulty in eating & chewing.
Digital OPG X-ray revealed severe loss of bone surrounding the implants that caused them to loosen and dislodge. Maxillofacial Surgeon and Implantologist Dr. S.M. Balaji successfully performed the complete rehabilitation. The failed implants were removed completely and the surrounding infection controlled. New superior enhanced implants were placed with good retention and stability. Following complete osseointegration of the implants with the surrounding jaw bone, ceramic prosthesis was placed. The man is very happy to be relieved of pain and discomfort and to have good quality superior implant treatment.
