In today’s video, let’s answer the question: how long do dental implants last? After you spend so much money on implants, you want them to last the rest of your life. And this is true; dental implants are supposed to last a lifetime.
Maintaining Your Dental Implants
The dental implant has two parts that must be maintained for the implant to last:
- Implant Body – placed inside the jaw- is supposed to last you a lifetime. Regular hygiene visits and check-ups ensure your bone level around the implant stays the same, preventing bone loss and complications. It’s important that your implants and natural teeth stay nice and clean.
- The Crown – which is the top of the implant, is a part that may need replacement as you age. The crown can chip, stain, and become exposed on the gun level. If this happens, we can replace the crown with a new one.
Conclusion
Ultimately, the dental implant is the treatment option that will give you the longest lifespan out of all dental treatments available to replace missing teeth.
