How long do dental implant last?

 

 

 

 

 

Many people usually think how long

dental implants last before the procedure.

Like the lifespan of human healthy

teeth is vary from person to person,

dental implants also depend on oral

status, health condition, dentist’s skill,

patient’s careful care, ectc…

Therefore, dentists will not be able to

predict exactly how long implants work.

 

 

 

 

However, the average lifespan for

a well-maintained dental crown is about

10 years and dental implants can be used

permanently with good care.

 

There are still many studies about the

life expectancy of dental implants

but no definite answers to this question.

Since there are various types of dental

prosthesis and treatment methods,

the released studies are just

reference resource and the lifespan for

dental prosthesis is unpredictable.

 

 

 

 

Dr. Jeong-Taek LEE of S-PLANT Dental

Hospital said “The lifespan of dental

implants should be considered but the

treatment for maintenance of natural

teeth is also important in the long run.

Although it is hard to predict how long

dental implants long, assuming natural

teeth are 100 points, both patient and

dentist should try to maintain

100 points of dental implants

as long as possible”.

 

 

 

 

Plus, even if the lifespan of dental

implant is around 10 years, the placed

implants don’t need to be changed in

10 years. Patients should not neglect

the implant for 10 years since it looks

and patient should not neglect constant

care of implant although it looks well for

10 years.

 

If you get proper treatment and follow

doctor’s directions, you can keep your

implants healthy for a long time.
