Dr. Sanda Moldovan explains how chronic inflammation sabotages dental implants. When your body stays inflamed from diet, heavy metals, or a leaky gut, immune cells overreact to implant placement and prevent the titanium or ceramic fixture from fusing properly with bone.
If someone has generalized chronic inflammation, it predisposes you to implants failing more. So what do we mean by implants failing? Let's step it back a little bit. When we place the dental implant, it's basically like a foreign fixture. It could be titanium or ceramic, and it's meant as a replacement body part that we put in the jawbone. And we're depending on the health of your cells, of your cellular bone to incorporate the dental implant or allow it to fuse with your cells. If your cells are chronically inflamed, what could cause chronic inflammation? Or diet, for example? High levels of heavy metals, high levels of microbes, leaky gut can cause generalized chronic inflammation. All these things can cause your cells to be inflamed and therefore overreacting to, to any kind of treatment that we do, whether it's a tooth removal or an implant placement, but especially.
