Osseo-integrated dental implants have emerged as a widely embraced and established treatment approach for replacing missing teeth in partially and totally edentulous areas. Failures do occur despite the commendable success rates and stability of dental implants. The consequences of failure in dental implants are often perceived by many clinicians as a significant impediment to implant treatment, jeopardizing the clinician’s efforts to accomplish satisfactory function and aesthetics. These failures challenge the clinician’s endeavours and cast a shadow on the overall success of implant treatments. Therefore, this article provides a brief insight into the frequent complications of dental implants and their management. It also helps clinicians understand how to best prevent them from enhancing favourable treatment outcomes and long-term patient implant survival rates.
