What to do if dental implant feels loose?

Q. my dental implant feels wobbly. i got it in about six months ago and everything has been fine up to now but suddenly it feels quite loose. it is noticeable when cleaning my teeth and eating. is it going to fall out?

A. probably the crown or abutment screw is loose, and just needs tightening. however you must go back and get this seen too ASAP

What to do if dental implant feels loose?

Q. I had my dental implant put in two days ago but it feels loose. This can’t be normal? There is no pain but I can definately feel that it is loose and not tightly fitted into my gums. What should I do?

A. hi many thanks for your email, if you are concerned my advice would be to go back to your dentist to have it checked out.
