Are Dental Implants Permanent?

 

How long does a dental implant last?

 

 

 

 

You may have heard the lifespan of a dental

implant is 25 years or more, which is true,

as long as you take proper care of them.

Whether dental implants last forever is

influenced by a variety of factors, such as:

 

-How well you take care of your dental

implants, like daily flossing and brushing,

seeing a dentist every six months.

 

-Avoiding chewing or biting down on extremely

hard items, like pen tips or pencils,

and not opening things with your teeth.

 

-How skillful your dentist is at placing your

dental implant. Experts know how to

evaluate the progress of osseointegration

and whether your jawbone has completely

absorbed the implant.

 

-Your lifestyle and overall health.

 

 

 

 

How Do I Know If I Need to Replace

My Old Dental Implant?

 

 

You may never need to replace your dental

implant as long as it doesn’t become loose,

develop an infection or is damaged

in some way. For optimal care,

you should visit your dentist every six months

for a regular check-up and to ensure

your dental implant is healthy and functioning

normally.
