How long do dental implants last?

Many dental implants last decades with good care, though results vary. Longevity depends on the patient, implant site, oral health, habits, and ongoing maintenance.

Longevity factors include: - Oral hygiene habits (brushing, flossing, regular cleanings) - Overall health conditions - Bone quality and quantity - Avoiding smoking - Regular dental checkups

The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but this is a simple procedure.

Studies show a 95%+ success rate for dental implants over 10 years. At Esthetique Dentistry, we use premium implant systems and precise placement techniques to maximize long-term success.
