How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

There’s no doubt that dental implants require a significant investment of time. And so we understand that when our Oradell-area patients consider dental implants, they want to know that they will get the most out of their investment. We know that you don’t want to have to undergo another procedure shortly after getting an implant.

Fortunately, dental implants are exceptionally durable. If properly maintained, your implants can easily last for decades. Depending on your age, this means that dental implants can very well last for the rest of your life.

Dental implants are made from titanium and are rooted deep in your jawbone, while the artificial tooth that is placed on top of the implant is made from porcelain. These strong, durable materials, as well as the process of rooting the implant firmly in your jawbone, explain how dental implants can last for so long.

And the best part is that you won’t have to do anything special to maintain your dental implants. You just have to practice sound dental hygiene and visit our office for regularly scheduled examinations and cleanings twice a year. You can eat all the foods you love and go about your life completely confident in the integrity of your dental implants.
