Dental Implants Failure – What is the Reason?

My husband had 4 dental implants done in Philippines (Manila, The Sacred Heart Dental Clinic). After just three weeks 1 upper implant and 2 lower implants + 3 crowns have vertually fallen out (they first began moving, and in a coupla of days my husband was able to pull them out with bare fingers!). This means 75% failure. The doctor said that the jawbones were dense and suitable for implants.
Has anybody else experienced this, and what may be the reason?

Suggestion:

There can only be 2 reasons. First your husband has some major general health problems and has impaired healing ability. Secondly the implants were not properly done.

I'm sorry to hear that your dental implants failed.
Unfortunately, any time you introduce something foreign to the body, you run the risk that the body will not adapt to it. I was told by my periodontist that dental implants have a 5% failure rate.
My first dental implant failed due to infection. Infection and insufficient bone can contribute to failure. However, you mention that your husband's bones were deemed suitable for implantation. Mine were as well.
Sometimes the implant just doesn't take. My periodontist said this is perplexing, because there is really only one place to put the implant, so it's not like you can get it wrong. I would advise getting your husband checked out for dental infection. It is also possible that the implants just didn't take. Your best bet is to get to a periodontist as soon as possible.
Best of luck.
