| Research and documentation studies have proven the effectiveness and long lasting results of dental implants. Dental implants have demonstrated a success rate of over 95% in documented studies. Good oral hygiene is one of the most critical factors to insure the health of your dental implants. Your dentist will instruct you on the proper home hygiene procedures to keep your dental implants and remaining teeth clean and healthy. Regular visits to your dentist are important so your dentist can assess the health of your replacement teeth and gum tissue. You can rely on your replacement teeth to look, feel and function like natural teeth for years to come.
The life of the implant varies with factors of patient health (diabetes, metabolic bone disease), patient habits (smoking, oral hygiene) and structural overload.
Predicting how long an implant will last is impossible. Consequently it is not possible to guarantee success. If an implant fails it may be replaced. However, the prosthesis (overdenture/crowns) will need to be remade. Dental implants do however provide patients a second chance to regain their natural teeth and to enjoy the benefits that natural teeth provide over dentures and bridges. Dental implants have been maintained in the majority of cases for over twenty-five years.
Our prosthetic specialists have many years of experience and have been able achieve a very high success rate. Our ability to have a team of specialists in consultation provides for the very best treatment.
