Dental implant tips

① What is the material used to make the implant (root)? The implant is made of commercially pure titanium, a material that has been proven to be tolerated by the active tissue (biocompatible). Adverse reactions due to titanium are extremely rare. ② How long will dental implants last? With proper care and regular checkups, your implants can last a lifetime. Many patients have had implants for 15 years or more. Clinical evidence suggests that the probability of an implant remaining fully functional after 10 years of use is over 95%. ③ What is the age limit for the use of implants? As a rule, people with underdeveloped jaws are not suitable for implant placement. However, health is the main deciding factor. In healthy older patients, the likelihood of success is almost the same as in younger patients. ④ Are implants unpleasant or even painful? No. Implants are usually placed under local anesthesia. The placement of the implant will only cause minor discomfort to the patient.
