Do dental implants ever fall out?
Hello! I’m excited for you to get your implants as they are the best way to replace missing teeth currently. Although implants have gotten more predictable and success rates are high, implant failure is still possible unfortunately. Most important aspect of a successful and long lasting implants is a healthy bone. As long as the procedure is done properly and correctly, and you take good care of it with proper oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings, it should not be a huge issue. It will be worth all the efforts! READ MORE
My daughter is 8 years old and her baby teeth have still not fallen out. Is it normal?
Hello! Usually, the teeth fall off the same order that they came in. Usually, they lose their first teeth between 6-9. Although she’s definitely in the later side of the tooth loss process, I would not worry too much yet. However, if you do have any concerns, I would take her to a dentist where they can take some X-rays to see where the adult teeth are lying and how much longer the baby teeth will be there. I hope this answers your questions. Sincerely, Charles Kim, DDS READ MORE
