29 Dec How Long Is the Durability of Dental Implants?
Emident Oral and Maxillofacial Clinic Dentist Ali Osman Emiroğlu talks about the lifetime of dental implants.
“Dental implants are life-long applications. The most important factor that determines the life of dental implants is oral hygiene. Over the years, hormonal changes in the body system or some diseases affect it.”
Dental implant treatment is a dental treatment that allows patients to regain all their teeth, including patients who have lost all their teeth from the first stage to the last stage, without too much pain. The treatment period takes place in four stages as the control of jaw compatibility, the process to be waited for to make it suitable according to the situation, the surgical operation process and the process of fusion of artificial teeth to the jawbone and varies from patient to patient.
The life of the implant is aimed like the life of a tooth. When viewed from the date of the implants, the average implants can stay in the mouth for 20-25 years. This process is related to the importance that the patient gives to oral care. Because implants are titanium metal, but there can be gum diseases. This does not lose the implant but shortens its lifespan.
As the life of the implant can change in harmony with all your other diseases, the main effect is related to paying more attention to oral and dental hygiene than normal. You should not be misled by the fact that implant teeth do not carry the risk of decay and wear, although an unhygienic mouth is formed, especially in the treatment of implants, which should never be neglected by the dentist’s control. Although implant teeth are not damaged and decayed like our real teeth, the bacteria concentrated in the gums around these teeth seriously threaten your oral health.
