Dr. Barotz’s thorough understanding and in-depth knowledge of dental implants and soft and hard tissue set him apart as an expert in treating dental implant complications.

Dental Implant FAQs in Denver, Colorado
Symptoms and Causes of Dental Implant Complications
Many factors must be considered during treatment planning in order for dental implant surgery to achieve long-term functional and aesthetic success. Placement at an improper angle in the jaw or incorrectly positioned in relation to other teeth results in a greater chance of dental implant complications. Improper home-care can also cause peri-implantitis, an infection similar to gum disease. Peri-implantitis can cause tissue and bone loss. The symptoms of dental implant complication can include pain, numbness or tingling, swelling, or signs of infection.
