How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
Dental implants are
one of the most durable ways to replace missing teeth, but how long do dental implants last? Are they cost-effective? The short answer is that dental implants themselves can last a lifetime, but the crowns attached to them may need replacing at some point.
The longevity of dental implants makes them a surprisingly affordable alternative to dentures and bridges, which must be replaced periodically and can put a strain on healthy teeth and gums. These strong man-made natural root resembling replacements are cared for the same way you care for your natural teeth. There is no added expense for particular cleaning products and usually no additional time needed for oral hygiene care.
When comparing dental implants to other tooth replacement options, implants last longer, are stronger, and don’t interfere with eating whatever you like. The value of implant tooth replacements is undeniable, making them a worthwhile investment and comparable in price to other options that may not last as long.
