Correcting Failed Dental Implants — From Single Implants to All-on-4 and Zygomatic Cases

If you’re experiencing pain, loose implants, or dissatisfaction after dental implant treatment — you’re not alone. At Glacial Sands Oral, Facial, and Implant Surgery, we specialize in dental implant revision surgery, offering expert solutions for patients who need to correct or replace previous dental work that hasn’t met their needs.

Whether you’ve had a single implant fail, are dealing with a compromised All-on-4 full arch restoration, or have undergone more complex treatment with zygomatic or pterygoid implants, our team has the expertise and technology to restore your smile with precision and care.


Why Do Dental Implants Fail?

While dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution, complications can arise — especially when treatment is rushed, poorly planned, or performed by someone without specialized training. You may benefit from implant revision surgery if you experience:

  • Pain, swelling, or recurring infections near implants
  • Loose or shifting implant-supported teeth
  • Aesthetic concerns or bite alignment issues
  • Implant exposure due to gum recession
  • Failure of zygomatic or pterygoid implants placed in severely resorbed bone

All-on-4 and Full Arch Revision Surgery

Full mouth restorations like All-on-4®, All-on-X, or Teeth in a Day® are complex procedures that must be executed with extreme precision. When these treatments fail — due to poor placement, inadequate bone support, or cosmetic issues — a revision may be necessary to remove old implants, rebuild bone, and restore function.

Dr. Sonia Bennett is a Board-Certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon with over 3,000 successful full arch cases. Her extensive training and advanced surgical techniques make her uniquely qualified to perform All-on-4 revision surgery and achieve the results you were originally promised.

Advanced Implant Revision: Zygomatic & Pterygoid Expertise

In cases of extreme upper jaw bone loss, some patients receive zygomatic or pterygoid implants. These advanced procedures offer a lifeline for those who have been told they don’t have enough bone — but when they fail or are placed improperly, correction requires elite-level surgical care.

Dr. Bennett has deep experience revising and rescuing complex implant failures, including zygomatic implant complications and pterygoid implant revisions. She combines facial anatomy expertise with advanced digital imaging and 3D surgical planning to restore stability, comfort, and aesthetics.
