How many years does a typical dental implant last?

After more than 50 years of development, the long-term success rate of dental implants has been extremely high, with a 5-year success rate of more than 95% and a 10-year success rate of more than 90%. It has been documented that there are cases where dental implants are still intact for more than forty years. Of course, the success of the dental implant surgery and its longevity are related to many factors. One of them is the choice of the root material, which has a major impact on the anchoring effect of the root. The next factor is the technical proficiency of the surgeon who performs the surgery and crown restoration, as well as the surgeon’s thorough understanding of the relevant disciplines. In addition, it is closely related to the individual patient’s condition such as bone density and oral hygiene.
