DENTAL IMPLANT LIFE EXPECTANCY

Dental implants are more often than not, are the first choice and a standard of dental care compared to other options to

restore missing or damaged teeth, and typically implants have the longest life expectancy.

Dental implant treatment has a long established track record of reliable, long-term successful outcome, and considered

more predictable than other treatments to repair or replace missing teeth, including bridgework, removable appliances

and retreatment of failing root canal therapy.

Traditional tooth-supported dental bridges may only last five to seven years, and with proper care more than 10 years,

but at some point they may need to be replaced. While dental implants may need periodic adjustments, they can last a

lifetime when properly placed and cared for over time.

If a patient starts having problems with their bridge, a new one can be made and quickly replaced. Fixing implants cost

less and last the longest, as long as you maintain hygiene and have regular visits with your dentist.

Strong and stable, a dental implant restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, fits and functions like a natural tooth.
