“How long do implant bridges last?”
I will get a bridge on my implants. How long do implant bridges last?

Nothing lasts forever. An implant bridge can not decay, and with good oral hygiene and regular visits to your American Dental Association dentist it should last a very long time.
10 years is considered successful, but I have patients with implants over 20 years. Usually, if they are successful for the first year, that is a good sign. It depends on your health, whether you smoke, the amount and density of bone surrounding, and the experience of the surgeon as well as your oral hygiene. Make sure you ask how to clean under and around.
