I recently noticed that my dental implant feels loose when I chew or touch it with my tongue. It wasn’t like this before and now I’m worried something might be wrong. There’s slight discomfort and I’m afraid the implant might fall out or become infected. I’m not sure if this is an emergency or if it can wait a few days.
If your dental implant feels loose, it’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible. In many cases, it may not be the implant itself but the crown or abutment screw that has loosened — which can be fixed quickly if treated early. However, if left untreated, it could lead to infection or bone loss around the implant. At Ashford Dental Centre Singapore, our dental team carefully assesses the cause using digital imaging and provides prompt, precise treatment to stabilise your implant and protect your long-term oral health. Early attention ensures the best outcome and peace of mind.
