Implant rescue — fixing failed and overseas implant cases
Dr. Antipov treats the cases other clinics turn away: failed implants, painful or loose restorations, and work done overseas — rebuilding the jaw and getting you back to fixed teeth.
Can a failed dental implant be fixed?
Yes — in most cases a failed implant can be corrected. Dr. Antipov specializes in redo and rescue cases: implants that have loosened, become infected, were poorly positioned, or have failed entirely, including work done at other clinics or overseas in places like Mexico and Turkey.
His approach is to diagnose why the original treatment failed, remove anything that cannot be saved, rebuild the jawbone where it has been lost, and replace the implants and teeth — often providing patients with same-day implants and teeth as part of the reconstruction.
Common reasons implants fail
Insufficient or lost bone
Implants placed without enough supporting bone, or where bone has since been lost, can loosen and fail.
Infection (peri-implantitis)
Infection around an implant can damage the surrounding bone and lead to failure if not addressed.
Poor positioning or planning
Implants placed at the wrong angle or location can be impossible to restore properly and may need to be redone.
Overseas or low-cost dental work
Cases done abroad or at high-volume clinics sometimes arrive painful, loose, or unfinished — Dr. Antipov takes these on.
How rescue cases are rebuilt
3D diagnosis
A CT scan reveals bone levels, implant position, and infection so the problem is understood before any surgery.
Jawbone reconstruction
Grafting and ridge reconstruction rebuild the foundation where bone has been lost around failed implants.
New implants & fixed teeth
Once the foundation is sound, new implants are placed and a fixed restoration is built — frequently with same-day teeth.
Frequently asked questions
I had implants done overseas and now they hurt. Can you help?
Yes. Dr. Antipov regularly treats patients whose implants were placed abroad, including in Mexico and Turkey. He will evaluate what was done, determine what can be saved, and create a plan to rebuild your jaw and restore fixed teeth.
Do all the implants have to be removed?
Not necessarily. Some implants can be kept if they are well-positioned and the surrounding bone is healthy. Others may need to be removed and replaced. A 3D CT scan and exam guide that decision.
Will I need bone grafting?
Often, yes — failed implants frequently leave bone loss behind. Dr. Antipov rebuilds the jawbone with grafting and reconstruction so that new implants have a strong foundation. In some cases, zygomatic or pterygoid implants can avoid extensive grafting.
Can I get teeth the same day as the rescue surgery?
In many cases, yes. Part of Dr. Antipov's approach to rescue cases is providing same-day implants and teeth where the bone and stability allow, so you do not leave without a smile.
