An implant is one of the larger investments most people make in their own body, and the fair question before driving fifteen minutes down the A5 to discuss one is: how long will it last, and what could go wrong? This page tries to answer it. Every implant is planned digitally at Toothi, and your written plan names the dentist who will place it.
How long implants last
Well-placed implants in a healthy, well-maintained mouth have very high long-term success rates. The large majority are still working well after ten years, and many last decades. The titanium post itself can’t decay or get a cavity.
The crown on top is a different matter. It’s a manufactured object under enormous repeated load, and it may need replacing at some point in a long life. That’s maintenance rather than failure, and worth bearing in mind.
What causes implants to fail
Four things, in rough order of importance:
- ✓ Peri-implantitis. The big one. It’s gum disease around an implant: bacteria, inflammation, and progressive loss of the bone holding the implant in. It’s largely painless until it’s advanced, and it’s the leading cause of late implant failure. It’s also largely preventable with cleaning and regular hygiene appointments, which is why we won’t place implants into a mouth with untreated gum disease.
- ✓ Smoking. Materially raises failure rates, both early and late. We’ll tell you this plainly rather than take your money and hope. If you’re going to stop, before implant surgery is the moment.
- ✓ Uncontrolled diabetes, which impairs healing and the bone’s ability to fuse to the implant.
- ✓ Grinding and clenching. An implant has no ligament, so unlike a natural tooth it can’t feel excessive force and doesn’t have that shock absorption. Heavy bruxism can overload the restoration. A night guard is often part of a properly planned case, and it’s often left out of lower-priced plans.
What this means for your case
It means the assessment matters as much as the surgery. Before anything is placed we look at the gums, the bone in 3D, the bite, your medical history and your habits. If something needs treating first, we treat it first. That’s what keeps the implant there in fifteen years’ time.
And it means aftercare isn’t optional. Implants need cleaning and reviewing like teeth. Build that in. Toothi holds a 4.9-star rating across 130+ Google reviews and opens seven days a week, including Sundays.
- ✓ Free implant consultation. The CBCT 3D scan is referred out and paid to the imaging centre directly.
- ✓ A written plan and a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
- ✓ Planned, restored and reviewed in-house at Toothi.
- ✓ 0% APR finance over up to 10 months, with longer terms up to 5 years.
- ✓ Weekend appointments, so you’re not making the drive more often than you need to.
