At Gordon Dental Implants & Cosmetics, we know how stressful it can be when a dental implant breaks or begins to fail. Beyond causing discomfort, it can also affect your confidence. That’s why Dr. Philip J. Gordon, DDS, specializes in repairing, restoring, and replacing broken and failing dental implants in Overland Park, KS.
Sadly, nearly 35% of our practice is focused on corrective implant dentistry—addressing “re-do” cases where implants must be saved, removed, or replaced. Patients travel from hours away to receive Dr. Gordon’s expertise in handling complicated implant failures, including All-On-4 and full-arch implant restorations.
If you suspect your dental implant is failing, don’t wait—schedule your free consultation today at our Overland Park office. We provide a complimentary 3D CT Scan and review all your options to restore function and appearance.
Dental implants are designed to be long-lasting, but issues can occur due to bone loss, infection, or mechanical stress.
If you notice pain, swelling, or implant movement, it’s essential to seek prompt care to prevent further damage.
If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule a professional evaluation right away.
Rejection is extremely rare because implants are made from titanium, which is biocompatible. In most cases, complications are due to infection or lack of bone support rather than the body rejecting the implant.
This is called failed osseointegration. If it occurs, the implant may become loose. Your dentist can remove the implant, allow the bone to heal, and later place a new implant in the same area.
No, dental implants are small and made of titanium, which does not trigger airport or security metal detectors.
Implants themselves cannot decay like natural teeth, but the surrounding gums and bone can still develop disease if oral hygiene is neglected. Gum disease is one of the biggest threats to implant health.
Titanium implants are MRI-safe. They will not interfere with imaging or cause harm, though they may cause a very small artifact (shadow) in the scanned image.
Yes, though it’s rare. Implants are very strong, but severe teeth grinding, trauma, or poorly fitted crowns can lead to fractures. A broken implant usually requires replacement.
