Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. This is why it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and see your dentist regularly. The crown, however, can last for as long as 10 to 15 years before it needs replacing. If your crown is damaged, shows signs of wear and tear, or is no longer aesthetically pleasing, you may need to have your crown replaced sooner.
The location of your dental implant can also determine its lifespan. Implants toward the back of your mouth endure more from chewing, which can cause them to fail faster than implants located in the front of your mouth.
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent tooth replacement option, that if properly cared for will last for a lifetime. Just like your natural teeth, you’ll have to regularly brush and floss your dental implants to help prevent gum disease.
