Dental implants can last well over 15 years or longer if you properly maintain them with adequate brushing and flossing as well as regular dental check-ups and a cleaning twice a year.
A crown or bridge, however, has a shorter lifespan, ranging from 10 to 15 years before requiring replacement due to daily wear.
There are patients who had their dental implants placed over 30 years ago and their implants are still functioning properly today. In fact, the first human who had dental implants ever placed in 1965 died in 2006. His implants were still functional at the time of his death. So his implants lasted for over 40 years!
At Implant and Periodontal Institute of Torrance, we offer 30-year warranty on our implants. [Note: Certain conditions may apply.]
