How long do dental implants Mount Prospect last?

When it comes to any type of dental work, you quite literally want to put your money where your mouth is and ensure your treatments create long-term, sustainable results!

At Meyer Dental Group, our dental implants in Mount Prospect are designed to live in your mouth permanently as they become bonded with the jaw bone tissue that they are implanted into — the fancy name for this is osseointegration.

After some time to heal, you should be able to feel how stable and secure your implant feels, thanks to this cool process!

To understand how long a dental implant lasts, it's important to note that the implant is made up of 3 key parts:

  • The implant: Usually a titanium screw
  • An abutment: A mental post that connects replacement tooth to the implant
  • The Crown: A porcelain resin or metal tooth that replaces your missing tooth

Among the components of dental implants, the implant itself can last a lifetime with care, regular dental check-ups and great oral hygiene. The crown itself can have a lifespan of 10–15 years or beyond if taken care of exceptionally.

This includes a routine of:

  • Brushing your teeth at least twice a day for a minimum of 2 minutes
  • Flossing at least once a day
  • Getting professional cleanings every 6 months

And can also include habits such as:

  • Avoiding biting down on hard objects with your implanted tooth
  • NOT using your teeth as tools to open things, even if you don't have a dental implant!
  • Grinding your your teeth from stress and/or in your sleep — a custom mouth guard can help with that!

Our team of experts can help create a realistic maintenance plan to help you take care of your dental implants in Mount Prospect and get the most out of them.

The material that the crown on dental implants are made of can largely determine the crown's longevity.

Crowns are often composed of the following:

  • Porcelain
  • Ceramic
  • Resin
  • Metal

And sometimes a blend of these materials together. Metal and porcelain crowns are typically the strongest and can help extend the life of your dental implants. Resin and ceramics are great options as well and are often less expensive than the former.

How does a dental implant work?

mt prospect dental implants

The dental implant is inserted into the jawbone, and then the false tooth also called a “pontic”, is attached. Made of titanium or zirconium (for more biologic metal-sensitive patients) which blends well with bone, implants create a strong support structure that will hold your false tooth to your jaw – for the rest of your life.

Once your implant is installed, the artificial tooth is installed. Unlike dentures, these teeth are not removable; they are permanent and behave like your natural teeth.
