The evidence states you can expect a 99.9% success rate after 10 years. I have personally completed thousands of Dental Implant surgeries, and it is definitely my bread and butter of dental procedures I perform. I can confirm that Dental Implants, when appropriately planned and delivered, can last a lifetime subject to good oral health, routine examinations and hygiene visits. I have patients who have had single dental implants and full mouth implants who suffer no issues several years on. Here are some comments from my patients who have had dental implants with me several years ago;
“No issues, feels like a normal tooth”
“I am not even aware I have a Dental Implant in my mouth”
“I chew and smile confidently since having the implants”
“Best decision I ever made, I can now smile and chew confidently”
“Wish I had them done sooner, I wasted so much money on dentures and bridges”
In conclusion, Dental Implants require an experienced dental surgeon and excellent aftercare. If you don’t look after your oral health, dental implants will suffer similar to natural teeth. Here at Bespoke Dental & Implant Clinic, I am the Lead surgeon and ensure there are no compromises and have a rigorous checklist to ensure we sign off each patient backed up with clinical and radiographic evidence of successful placement and restoration. Dental Implants can last a lifetime with great aftercare and a stable medical history.
