Hi,
I had two dental implants placed in my top jaw 12 months ago, now at least one of them has failed. The bridge came off , the implant on the right of the X-ray is still in the bone. I'm posting the x-ray picture of the situation before the bridge came off and of the actual bridge with one implant attached.
The implant on the right of X-ray is also showing the beginning of bone loss and will also probably come out later- can you advise if this implant can be saved?
Also, the dentist said that the previous dentist who placed the implants chose the implants which were too small, hence the reason for implant failure- could you tell by looking at this x-ray? Do you agree that the implants should have been larger?
Thank you
