Dental Implants
Many patients consider dental implants their smile’s ‘forever’ solution. Dental implants can last a lifetime, especially when you take good care of them. Here’s how it works: the actual implant—a tiny titanium post—is placed in your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a rock-solid foundation. This is the part that can truly last forever.
The crown that tops the implant might need a little TLC down the line, but they usually last about 10-15 years before they might need replacing, simply due to the normal wear and tear that comes with daily life. However, with regular check-ups, good brushing habits and regular flossing, you can keep your implant and crown in great shape for the long haul.
Another tip for making your dental implants last is to avoid smoking and biting down on hard foods.
