Dental implants have become a popular treatment option for replacing missing teeth. Besides restoring the ability to chew and improving appearance, dental implants can also help improve a person’s confidence and quality of life.
However, an important question that many patients may have is: How long can dental implants last, and what causes them to fail?
Although dental implants generally have high survival rates, they are not free from complications.
Implant failure can happen at an early stage, when the implant fails to properly attach to the jawbone, or at a later stage after the implant has been used for chewing.
