How long do titanium dental implants last

A titanium dental implant can function for many years, depending on bone, gum health, biting forces, hygiene, and maintenance.

A titanium fixture bonds with jawbone and supports an abutment and crown; the crown or screw may need repair before the fixture.

Clean around the crown, avoid damaging habits, and attend implant maintenance visits.

Seek care for movement, bleeding, pus, pain on biting, a loose crown, or a changing bite.

Ask how bone, gum inflammation, clenching, and smoking affect your plan.
