How long do dental implants last for?

Q. Are dental implants more longer lasting than the other options for missing teeth like a dental bridge? How long is the life of an implant expected to be?
A. When having a bridge you have to remove tooth substance , therefore effecting the prognosis of the teeth. Implants have a life span of approximately 10 to 15 years but can last longer if looked after and seeing the hygienist regularly.

Q. How long will I ned to stop smoking for the whole dental implant prodecure to make sure the thing is a success? Will chewing gum be a good alternative or will this be difficult when the implant is first put in?

Can I not get implants until gum disease is sorted?

Q. My dentist said that I will not be able to get dental implants until my gum disease is sorted out completely? How will he know when it is okay and I can go ahead?
A. Your dentist is right in that your gum health has to be stable before implants can be placed. If you have gum disease then your dentist will have to clean them and once they are stable (which he will know), then you may have implants

Can dental implants secure denture?

Q. I have a denture and have done so for quite some time now. I have never felt all that comfortable with it but over time got used to it enough to get by. Now, I am contemplating getting dental implants as I have read that they can help to keep the dentures firmly in place, which mine has never felt like. How is it that they are able to do this and what would this involve? Also, would I be able to use the same denture?
A. Dentures can have better retention by using dental implants. Attachments to the dentures such as locators, magnets , ball attachments , bars can provide this. I tend to prefer bars or locators or both.

An example of a case i treated is the following

You would require a new denture.

i hope this helps

Okay for dental implants if I grind teeth?

Q. For many years I have been grinding my teeth. It took me some time to get a mouth guard and by then some of my teeth were beyond repair. I had to have 3 removed and there have been gaps in my teeth for three yeas now. I still grind my teeth and this is something I have not been able to stop. If I am to get dental implants would they be okay seen as I do grind my teeth? I will of course wear mouthguard at night.
A. It is very important that the grinding habit does not cause destructive damage to the crowns aswell as the implants. Therfore a good constructed nightguard would be required.
