How long will implants last?

Nothing will last forever in dentistry. However, recent evidence shows that implants have some of the best longevity compared to other treatment options, such as a bridge or denture.  

On average, implants can last for over 15 years. However, this is dependent on good maintenance.  

We advise that you brush twice a day, floss daily and see a hygiene therapist every six months.

Single Implants

A single implant replaces a missing or lost tooth.  We can use a single implant to replace two teeth in some circumstances, but this is very much case-dependent.

Single implants are a perfect fixed solution for:

• Missing tooth
• Severely broken and unrestorable tooth
• Heavily decayed tooth
• Failed root canal
• A tooth damaged from injury
