How long do dental implants last?
After tooth loss or extraction occurs, it is critical that patients in the Maple Grove, Minnesota, area seek replacement options as soon as possible. Without replacing these teeth, patients may experience low self-confidence, poor chewing and biting efficiency, and the inability to speak clearly.
While many options are available to patients, the team at Weimar Family and Implant Dentistry may recommend a solution, such as a dental implant to replace one or more teeth. But what are dental implants? How long do dental implants last? Are they for everyone?
Let’s take a closer look at dental implants and find out if they are right for you!
What is a dental implant?
Dr. Richard Weimar describes the dental implant as a restoration made of titanium metal or ceramic that is placed in the jawbone where a tooth has been lost. It can support several restorations, including a dental crown, bridge, or denture, making it a versatile tooth replacement option for many patients.
