The Lifespan of Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent tooth replacement solution. With proper placement and ongoing care, the titanium post the part anchored into your jawbone — can last for decades, often for life. The crown (visible portion) typically lasts 10–15 years before natural wear might require replacement.

What Impacts Implant Longevity?

Several key factors determine how long your dental implants will last:

  • Expert Placement: Dr. Jaime Romero uses advanced 3D imaging and surgical guides to position implants with precision, protecting bone and gum tissue.
  • Oral Hygiene: Daily brushing, flossing, and routine cleanings help prevent gum disease, a leading cause of implant failure.
  • Lifestyle Choices: Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol significantly extends implant life.
  • General Health: Conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis can affect healing and long-term stability if not well managed.

Advanced Technology for Lasting Results

Our in-house dental lab and cone beam CT scanner allow us to customize your implant with unmatched accuracy. This technology-driven approach means a better fit, improved function, and results that feel and look natural helping your implant last as long as possible.
