Dental implant after ten years?
« on: March 05, 2012, 06:30:11 PM »
When they say that you dental implant will last for like ten years, what does that actually mean? After this time will they just replace the crown or have to redo the whole thing?

The science has improved as have the materials and the procedures and in the beginning they roughly said ten years but that is a guide line and many are noe projected to last much longer.
They will not need to be touched at all as long as all is well.

New crowns can be made easily should damage occur.
But they will leave well alone in the mean time.

Dental Implant is a permanent or long term solution for missing tooth or teeth. Normally it says minimum 10 years. however, if you treat it well and maintain well, it will stay for life long. some people may not do the instructions given, then sometimes implant may damage. otherwise it will be longer than 10 years. if it break or remove, replacement is needed. otherwise blank space is there.
