I certainly appreciate all the feedback this question about the safety of dental implants received here on Alignable. With so many dentists now placing implants, the rate of complications has increased, and the safety of dental implants has become a major concern. Patients and dentists need to know the potential risks, so they can take steps to improve their odds of success with dental implants. It’s important to identify any risk factors before implant placement, select a well-trained and experienced clinician, make regular follow-up appointments, and practice good oral hygiene before and after dental implant surgery.
