Urgent Help for Loose, Painful, or Damaged Dental Implants
A dental implant problem should be checked quickly. If your dental implant feels loose, hurts when you bite, has swelling around it, or the crown or bridge attached to it has broken, call Complete Dental Care at JFK.
Dental implant problems can involve the implant post, crown, bridge, abutment, screw, denture attachment, gum tissue, or surrounding bone. Some problems are simple to repair. Others need more advanced planning.
You do not need to know exactly what is wrong before calling. The first step is an exam. From there, Dr. Johns can evaluate the implant and explain your options in clear language.
Is Your Dental Implant Problem an Emergency?
Some dental implant issues can get worse without care. Call Complete Dental Care at JFK if you notice any of the following:
Emergency Implant Symptoms
Your dental implant feels loose
The crown, bridge, or denture attached to the implant is loose
You have pain when biting or chewing
You have swelling, bleeding, or tenderness around the implant
You see a metal post, screw, or broken implant part
Your implant-supported denture will not snap in or stay secure
Your implant crown has cracked, chipped, or fallen out
You have a bad taste, drainage, or signs of infection near the implant
You had an accident or injury involving an implant tooth
You were told an implant may be failing
Medical Emergency Notice
If you have trouble breathing, severe facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or symptoms that may be life-threatening, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
What to Do If Your Dental Implant Feels Loose or Painful
A loose or painful dental implant needs a dental evaluation. Until you are seen, follow these simple steps:
Call the office as soon as possible
Do not chew on the affected side
Save any loose crown, screw, denture part, or broken piece
Do not try to tighten the implant yourself
Do not use household glue or temporary repair kits
Rinse gently with warm water to keep the area clean
Bring any implant records or X-rays if another office placed the implant
Dr. Johns can evaluate the implant, surrounding gum tissue, bite, restoration, and bone support. This helps identify whether the problem involves the implant itself or the replacement tooth attached to it.
What Emergency Implant Care May Include
Every implant problem is different. Some issues involve the implant post. Others involve the crown, bridge, abutment, screw, denture attachment, gum tissue, or surrounding bone.
At Complete Dental Care at JFK, emergency implant care may include:
An implant exam and bite evaluation
Digital imaging or 3D scan review when needed
Evaluation of the implant crown, abutment, screw, or denture attachment
Checking for infection, gum inflammation, or bone loss
Cleaning around the implant area
Repairing or replacing a damaged implant crown when possible
Tightening or replacing loose implant components when appropriate
Adjusting the bite if pressure is affecting the implant
Discussing options if the implant cannot be saved
Planning next steps for replacement teeth, bone support, or complex implant care
The goal is to find the cause of the problem and explain your options clearly.
Emergency Implant Problems We Treat
Loose Dental Implant Crown
Sometimes the implant itself is stable, but the crown, screw, or connector is loose. This should still be checked quickly to avoid damage to the implant system or surrounding teeth.
Painful Dental Implant
Pain around an implant can come from several causes, including bite pressure, gum inflammation, infection, bone loss, or a damaged restoration. An exam helps identify what is causing the pain.
Broken Implant Crown or Bridge
A crown or bridge attached to implants can crack, chip, or come loose. Bring any broken pieces with you so the office can review repair or replacement options.
Loose Implant Denture
If an implant-supported denture will not snap in, rocks when you chew, or feels unstable, the attachments or denture may need adjustment, repair, or replacement.
Swelling or Infection Around an Implant
Swelling, drainage, bleeding, or a bad taste near an implant should be evaluated quickly. Infection around an implant can affect the surrounding gum and bone.
Failed or Failing Dental Implant
Some implant cases require advanced planning. If an implant is failing, Dr. Johns can review your options and explain whether the implant can be treated, restored, removed, or replaced.
Emergency Implant Care From an Experienced Implant Dentist
Dental implant emergencies require more than a quick look. The dentist must understand how implants work, how replacement teeth fit, how the bite affects implant pressure, and how bone and gum support the implant.
Dr. Jackie Johns, DMD has practiced implant dentistry for more than 30 years. His experience helps patients who need care for loose implants, painful implants, broken implant restorations, failed dental work, missing teeth, bone loss, and complex dental implant cases.

Had Your Implant Placed Somewhere Else? We Can Still Help.
Many patients call us after having dental implant treatment completed somewhere else. You may have moved, your previous dentist may be unavailable, or your implant may now need repair years after treatment.
Complete Dental Care at JFK can evaluate implant concerns even if another office placed the original implant. Bring any records, implant brand information, X-rays, or prior treatment notes if you have them.
If you do not have records, call anyway. The office can still begin with an evaluation and help you understand what may be needed next.
