A properly placed and well-cared-for dental implant can last 20 years or more, and in many cases, a lifetime. But here\u2019s something most people don\u2019t realize\u2014while the implant itself (the titanium post) is designed to be permanent, the crown (the visible tooth) may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear and tear.<\/p>\n

So, while your implant can last forever, maintaining it properly is key to keeping your smile healthy and strong.<\/p>\n
