Among all tooth replacements, dental implants are the most
stable option. The crown visible above the gum line is actually attached to the
implant itself, which is fully integrated with the jaw bone deep below.
Although implants could potentially be knocked out, the likelihood of this
happening is extremely low.
How Stable Are Implants?
Once fully healed into the jaw bone, implants cannot be removed unless the jaw bone is cut. The titanium used to make implants is renowned for its strength, which far surpasses that of natural tooth roots. This means that a direct impact would need to be forceful enough to rip the bone apart in order to knock out the implant.
Impacts After Other Damage
Implants may be more easily knocked out if the bone holding them has been damaged beforehand. In certain cases, physical trauma could cause the jaw bone to deteriorate, making the implant less stable. For this reason, implant recipients who receive a blow to their tooth replacements should be examined right away to confirm continued stability.
Patients can help their implants remain stable by brushing and flossing daily and visiting our dentist regularly for check-ups. A consultation with our dentist can be scheduled by patients who want to learn more about the resistance of implants to being knocked out.
