Very common for bad tooth implants to cause problems.
My dentist fixes a lot of bad implants that other dentist have done. I would take the high 90`s success rate with a grain of salt . My dentist thinks there is a 10% failure rate with headaches a major problem

Implant Dentistry Procedure: Success versus Failure
Current dental implant technologies and materials continue to develop at a strong pace. The procedure has become established as the procedure of choice when patients are faced with the decision to replace single or multiple teeth.

Most restorative and reconstructive dentists can suggest a variety of treatment plans and technologies for replacing any number of teeth. In terms of obtaining optimal restoration of aesthetic appearances and dental function (bite, occlusion, eating, speaking, etc), implants tend to be unsurpassed.

The success rate of implants is in the high ninety percent range. However, occasionally they do fail.

There are two types of implant failures: Early and Late:

Early Failures
This type of failure occurs shortly after the implants are placed. They can be caused by:
overheating the bone
too much force when they are placed
not enough force when they are placed
contaminated implant
contaminated osteotomy
epithilial cells in osteotomy site
poor quality of bone
excessive forces during osseointegration
a myriad of other reasons
Late Failures
Generally caused by:
excessive forces
lateral loading
