Experts talk about the life of dental implants Generally speaking, the life of dental implants is something that many people who want to do dental implant surgery urgently need to know. In developed countries, the 5-year survival rate of people who have undergone dental implant surgery is over 95%, and the 10-year survival rate is about 90%. The stomatology community generally believes that the average service life of fixed prosthetic teeth is 8 years.
According to the American ADA clinical standard of oral implants, the 5-year preservation rate is 95%, and the 10-year preservation rate is 85%. That is to say, the lifespan of dental implants should be much longer than that of traditional fixed restorations. However, these figures only reflect the average level. The length of the lifespan of each implant is not only related to the quality of treatment, but also closely related to the patient’s future physical condition, use and self-maintenance. The latter is the decisive factor in determining the lifespan of dental implants.
Therefore, patients who have received dental implants should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions, including self-cleaning and maintenance and regular follow-up maintenance for professional removal of calculus and plaque. This will make your implants work for you more effectively and for longer.
