When considering dental implants, longevity is one of the first questions patients ask, and it’s an important one. At Revive-Dental™ in Longmont, we believe implants aren’t just a cosmetic fix; they’re a long-term investment in your oral health, confidence, and quality of life.
The Short Answer: Yes, They Last But With the Right Care
Dental implants placed at Revive-Dental™ are designed to be a permanent tooth replacement solution. Using advanced techniques such as All-on-6 full-arch implants, our team restores full function, stability, and natural appearance.
With proper care and regular maintenance, implants can last 20 years or more, often for life.
Why Implants Last So Long
The longevity of your dental implants depends on three key factors:
- Quality Placement and Planning
At Revive-Dental™, every implant case begins with 3D CBCT imaging and digital treatment planning to ensure optimal precision. Dr. Daniel Briskie, a nationally recognized implant instructor who trains other dentists in advanced techniques, personally oversees each procedure to achieve a perfect fit and long-term success. - Strong Foundation (Osseointegration)
Implants are made from biocompatible titanium, which fuses with your natural bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable, durable foundation that functions just like a real tooth root and helps prevent bone loss, one of the biggest issues with missing teeth. - Consistent Care and Maintenance
Just like natural teeth, implants require consistent oral hygiene and professional cleanings. Our hygienists specialize in implant maintenance to help you protect your investment for decades.
Everyday Habits That Help Implants Last
- Brush and floss daily (or use a water flosser).
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
- Schedule regular cleanings and implant checkups every 6 months.
- Wear a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth.
- Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals.
Why Longevity Matters: Function and Health
Dental implants don’t just fill a gap; they preserve jawbone strength, support facial structure, and restore full chewing ability. Over time, this means better nutrition, better confidence, and fewer expensive dental problems down the line.
Compared to dentures or bridges, implants are the only tooth replacement option that helps prevent bone loss, making them the healthiest, longest-lasting solution.
