“How long do implant bridges last?”

The great thing about dental implants is that you no longer have to worry about getting decay around those "teeth" and they can last a very long time. If you keep the area clean, the gums and bone around the area can remain healthy and support the implant bridge for many years, even decades! Assure that you keep the area clean, have your dentist check the
area regularly, and assure that you have a healthy bite. Any excessive forces can also cause failure of the implant bridge. Also keep in mind that if you have any natural teeth next to the implants, you must really keep these areas clean. Natural teeth next to implants will get decay very quickly and easily if they are neglected.

If taken care of properly, it can last a lifetime.
