Before you sign

Review this document before your appointment when possible. Your treating dentist must still explain the patient-specific treatment, benefits, material risks, alternatives—including no treatment—and answer your questions. Do not sign after receiving sedating medication.

2. What you are agreeing to

Proposed treatment

A dental implant that has failed to integrate, has lost supporting bone, has fractured, or is positioned in a way that cannot be restored will be removed. Removal may involve reflection of gum tissue, use of a reverse-torque device or removal burs, and removal of a small amount of surrounding bone.

Depending on what is found at the time of surgery, the site may be grafted, left to heal before a further procedure, or receive a replacement implant in the same visit. Whether a replacement implant can be placed immediately cannot be determined reliably until the failed implant is out and the site is examined.

Expected benefits

  • Removal of a source of infection, inflammation, pain, or progressive bone loss.
  • Preservation of the remaining bone and preparation of the site for future treatment.
  • An opportunity to rebuild the site and, where conditions allow, to place a new implant.

Material risks and possible complications

  • Pain, swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, delayed healing, or wound opening.
  • Loss of additional bone or gum tissue during removal, leaving a larger defect than expected and requiring grafting.
  • Fracture of the implant during removal, leaving a retained fragment that may require a further procedure or, rarely, be left in place if removal would cause greater harm.
  • Damage to adjacent teeth, implants, restorations, nerves, sinus, or other anatomy.
  • Injury or altered sensation of the lip, chin, or tongue; altered sensation can be temporary or permanent.
  • Failure of the graft or of any replacement implant, requiring repeat treatment.
  • The final result may not match the original plan; a different restoration, a longer timeline, or an alternative to implant treatment may become necessary.

Reasonable alternatives

  • No treatment, with the possibility of continued infection, bone loss, pain, or spread of infection.
  • Attempted treatment of the tissue around the implant without removing it, where the implant is judged salvageable.
  • Removal without replacement, followed by a bridge, a removable prosthesis, or leaving the space unrestored.
  • Referral for another opinion before proceeding.

Patient responsibilities

  • Provide any records, radiographs, or information available about the original implant, including where and when it was placed.
  • Follow all post-operative, medication, and diet instructions and attend follow-up visits.
  • Disclose tobacco use, diabetes control, bruxism, and antiresorptive or immune-affecting medications, all of which affect healing and re-treatment success.
