How long can a titanium dental implant function?
A titanium dental implant can function for many years, depending on bone, gum health, biting forces, hygiene, and maintenance.
What parts make up a titanium dental implant restoration?
A titanium fixture bonds with jawbone and supports an abutment and crown; the crown or screw may need repair before the fixture.
What can you do to maintain a titanium implant?
Clean around the crown, avoid damaging habits, and attend implant maintenance visits.
When should a titanium implant be checked by a dentist?
Seek care for movement, bleeding, pus, pain on biting, a loose crown, or a changing bite.
What should you ask about the implant's long-term health?
Ask how bone, gum inflammation, clenching, and smoking affect your plan.
