Dental implants are designed as a strong, long-term solution when replacing missing teeth. However, the durability of each piece depends on several factors in each patient.
The choice of implant material, as well as the experience of the professional who will be responsible for its placement, directly affects the effectiveness of the treatment. The best materials and the right procedure ensure that your implant will last longer.
Similarly, the patient’s lifestyle also determines the durability of the implant. Proper oral hygiene, taking care of the health of the gums and the internal tissues that serve as support for the implant, as well as protecting the pieces to avoid fractures, are crucial to increasing their durability.
Normally, 90% of implants last for 10 years or more, before they have to be replaced. The useful life of these can reach 20 years or more, which provides them with the necessary care.
