If you are considering your tooth replacement options, your dentist has probably brought up the possibility that you get dental implants<\/a>. They are strong, natural-looking, and come with some impressive benefits for your jawbone health. But how long do they last? Will they endure long enough to be worth your money? This blog post explains what you should know about the life expectancy of dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Potential to Last a Lifetime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants have the remarkable potential to last a lifetime<\/strong> if you take proper care of them. The titanium posts fuse directly with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, which creates an incredibly stable and permanent foundation for your replacement teeth. Indeed, there is a strong chance that you will never have to worry about replacing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, keep in mind that the restorations <\/em>on top of dental implants may not last quite as long. The crowns, bridges, and dentures that get attached to the posts might need to be replaced every 10 \u2013 15 years or so. (Sometimes, they can last even longer than that.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Dental Implants Compare to Other Forms of Tooth Replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you compare them to other forms of tooth replacement, the longevity of dental implants makes them a clear winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
