Implants can fail at the implant/bone interface. You have limited amounts of bone in the jaw.
I’m not a dentist or surgeon, but I have an education in biomedical engineering. With knee and hip implants, for example, a major consideration is the health and longevity of the underlying bone.
I was under the impression swapping out an implant was far easier than installing the system.
And I’m also talking about teeth that have been repeatedly drilled, capped, crowns etc - not a normal, healthy tooth.
These teeth are basically anchors for crowns, at what point is a new implant better than a chiseled out tooth?
