How long can I expect my dental implants to last?

Dental implants are an investment in your smile future. While they may be more expensive upfront than other tooth replacement options, the tradeoff is that they can last for decades and sometimes for life. They don’t require added steps to your oral hygiene routine and special cleansers and brushes. You’ll never need adhesives or adjustments.

To promote dental implant longevity, keep up with dental visits, seeing your Bradenton, FL, dentist every six months. It would be best to brush and floss after eating or at least twice daily.

With regular dental care and healthy habits, most patients enjoy dental implants through the decades. Some even forget which tooth is the implant!

How Dental Implants Work

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots connected to replacement teeth or prosthetics like retained dentures. You can have a single implant, several singles, or an implant-retained prosthetic. The latter usually calls for up to six artificial tooth roots for stability.

Implants look and feel natural, and they are known for their longevity and user-friendliness.
