How long do implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution, and studies show a 90–95% success rate within 10 years. Long-term analyses show that approximately 80% of implants are still successful after 20 years. However, crowns attached to implants may require replacement in 50–80% of cases within 15–20 years due to normal wear. Factors affecting the lifespan of implants include oral hygiene, smoking habits, and overall health. With proper care, dental implants can function effectively for decades and often last a lifetime.
