You may have heard great things about dental implants, including its longevity, but you may be wondering how long do dental implants actually last.
Dental implant is the best way to replace missing teeth. It is often praised for its sturdiness and longevity. It typically outlasts any other type of dental restoration by a long shot with proper care. Depending on how well maintained and taken care of your implants are, it can even last a lifetime. Your lifestyle and dental hygiene significantly affect its longevity.
The main component of a dental implant is the titanium post that is embedded into your jawbone. This part of the implant has the longest life. The crown, bridge, or restoration attached to the top of the implant may need to be replaced at some point in your life depending on how well it is cared for, but can last for several years. Compared to other teeth replacement alternatives, dental implants are the most cost-effective treatment overall. While they may cost more upfront, they last much longer than bridges and dentures, saving you time, worry, and money in the long run.
