What Is the Longevity and Cost for an Implant?

Dental implants can last years, and with excellent maintenance and oral hygiene, including regular check-ups and cleanings, it can last a lifetime. The durability and longevity of an implant is worth the investment.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Dental Implant?

Most people are good candidates for dental implants. An ideal candidate should be old enough that their jaw has stopped growing and have healthy gums. You should have enough bone to support and anchor the implant. Even with some bone loss you can still be a good candidate for implants, because dental implants can prevent further bone loss. In some situations, bone can be rebuilt with a grafting procedure as part of the implant process.

Uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, radiation to the jaws, smoking, alcoholism, or uncontrolled gum disease are risk factors that can adversely affect your outcome. Certain medications that affect your immune system may also have an adverse affect. Severe clenching and grinding may also hinder the longevity of the implant. Overall, dental implants have a very high rate of success.
