Dental Implants
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last for many years. How long they last depends on factors such as your oral health, lifestyle and bone density.
Here's how it works: the implant, a small titanium post, is placed in your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a stable foundation for your new tooth.
The crown that sits on top of the implant may need replacing over time due to normal wear and tear, and many crowns last around 10 to 15 years. Regular check-ups, brushing twice a day and flossing daily can help keep your implant and crown in good condition for the long term.
To help your implants last, it's also best to avoid smoking and chewing on very hard foods or objects, like ice or pens.
Smile for Life: Dental Implants Built to Last
Tooth loss doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the joys of a complete smile. Dental implants can give you back your grin and ensure it stays in place for many years to come. If you’d like to learn more or book your consultation with our team, we invite you to call us or book online.
Alongside your implant, keeping up with regular general dentistry visits helps protect both your new tooth and the rest of your smile.
