Full Mouth Rehabilitation Risks & ComplicationsWhat to Know
- All surgical procedures carry risks.
Understanding the specific risks of full mouth rehabilitation helps you make an informed decision and choose a provider who minimises those risks through technology, expertise, and protocol adherence.
What Are the Common Risks of Full Mouth Rehabilitation?
The main risks of full mouth rehabilitation are implant failure, infection, nerve or sinus complications, and prosthetic wear over time. Reported incidence ranges from under 1% for nerve damage to 5 to 15% for peri-implantitis at 10 years, and each risk is minimised through 3D CBCT planning, premium implant systems, and strict sterilisation protocol.
| Risk | Incidence | How We Minimise It |
|---|---|---|
| Implant failure | 2–5% per implant | 3D CBCT planning, guided surgery, premium implant systems (Straumann, Nobel) |
| Infection | 1–3% | ISO 9001 sterilisation, prophylactic antibiotics, laminar flow surgical suites |
| Nerve damage (lower jaw) | <1% | CBCT-guided placement with 2mm safety margin from inferior alveolar nerve |
| Sinus perforation (upper jaw) | 1–5% | CBCT planning, crestal sinus lift technique, zygomatic alternatives |
| Prosthetic fracture | 2–5% at 5 years | Monolithic zirconia (900–1,200 MPa flexural strength) |
| Screw loosening | 5–10% at 5 years | Calibrated torque, regular maintenance protocol |
| Peri-implantitis | 5–15% at 10 years | Patient oral hygiene education, scheduled maintenance visits |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the risk of implant failure?
Implant failure occurs in an estimated 2 to 5% of cases per implant. Stunning Dentistry minimises this through 3D CBCT planning, guided surgery, and premium implant systems such as Straumann and Nobel Biocare.
Can nerve damage happen during implant surgery?
Nerve damage in the lower jaw is rare, at under 1% incidence, and is further reduced through CBCT-guided placement that maintains a 2mm safety margin from the inferior alveolar nerve.
What happens if a complication occurs after I fly home?
Contact our 24/7 CRM team via WhatsApp for immediate remote triage, then a video consultation with your treating doctor is scheduled within 24 hours. We liaise with your UK dentist for any in-person follow-up.
Does the warranty cover complications?
Yes. Our 10-year written warranty covers implant fracture, prosthetic failure, and clinical defects. It does not cover patient misuse or failure to maintain oral hygiene.
