As the world is embracing technology, dental technology is merging with artificial intelligence. Dentists are striving to perfect the art of placing dental implants. Implants for the rehabilitation and retention of dental and facial prostheses have graduated from a phase of wishful thinking to one of the most gratifying experiences for patients and treating fraternity alike. Implants and restorations supported by implants have a good long-term survival percentage. Complications and implant failure, which can still happen, are seen by many clinicians as significant barriers to implant treatment. Implant therapy still involves a biological healing and integration process despite recent advancements. These biological processes are complex and may be hampered by local or systemic factors, which could result in problems and implant failure. For the implant surgeon and dental professional, it is crucial to manage patients who have certain risk factors and be able to address potential complications and failure. The aim of this article is to discuss frequent complications of implant failure and its management and help clinicians in placing and restoring implants less painfully and vicariously receive some valuable experience.
