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.
