Missing teeth can affect our oral health and also affect our aesthetics, so timely repair is the key. Dental implants are becoming more and more popular nowadays as a new method of dental restoration. Many people worry about whether the lifespan of dental implants will be short after they have implanted teeth. So, will the lifespan of half dental implants be long? The lifespan of half dental implants can be comparable to that of original teeth if they are properly cared for. Successful dental implants are not only lifelike, beautiful, and comfortable, but also stable, firm, and durable, without hurting adjacent teeth, and their chewing function is the same as that of real teeth.
Do half dental implants last for a long time? The longevity of half dental implants is related to the following five factors:
1. The condition of the tooth itself: the teeth around the implant are healthy and the service life is long; if the teeth around the implant have gingivitis, dental caries, occlusal relationship, etc., the service life will be shortened; the alveolar bone around the implant will shrink. The more, the shorter the lifespan; with dental implants, the fewer missing teeth, the longer the lifespan.
2. Health of the whole body: Systemic diseases will reduce the immunity of the oral cavity, which is not good for implants and natural teeth, and affects the life of implants.
3. Implant system The choice of implant system is also one of the factors that affect the life of dental implants: the implant system has strict requirements and standards in terms of production process, shape design, connection method, processing accuracy, superstructure and disinfection packaging. Most of the good dental implant systems have international leading dental production technology and rich clinical successful experience, and the quality is reliable, which is very helpful for the longevity of dental implants.
4. The level of doctors and technicians: doctors and technicians have accumulated more than 5 years of experience in dental implants, and the success rate is greater than 90%.
5. The use and maintenance of dental implants: After receiving dental implants, it does not mean that it can be done without taboos once and for all. Although dental implants have excellent performance comparable to real teeth, after all, they are not real teeth, they are still installed dentures, so After the operation, care should be taken to maintain, pay attention to cleaning, and go to the hospital for regular inspections to avoid implant infection and maintain the long-term use of implants.
