How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last for a lifetime with proper care. The titanium post your new tooth is attached to integrates with your jawbone, so it’s extremely durable.
The dental crown that’s set on the titanium post isn’t as durable as the metal implant itself. Crowns tend to last for up to 10 to 15 years, sometimes even longer with special care. The location of the implant in your mouth can also affect how long it lasts—teeth in the back of your mouth are put under more stress due to their role in chewing.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants will vary depending on your unique situation. The cost depends on the material of your implants, whether you need supplemental procedures, and the type and number of implants required. During your evaluation, Dr. Kontos will discuss the best implant for you.
How do you take care of your dental implants after the procedure?
Immediately after your procedure, you’ll need to be careful around the area of your implant. Improper care can threaten your oral health and interfere with the healing process. Eating soft foods and being careful when you rinse your mouth or spit can help ensure success.
To take care of your dental implants in the long term, just brush and floss your teeth like usual. Dental implants can be treated just like a natural tooth, so they shouldn’t require any extra care. Visiting Dr. Kontos every six months for a regular appointment also helps him ensure the lasting health of your implant.
