One of the most common questions patients ask when considering dental implants is: "How long will they last?" At Elonix Dental Clinic in Albania, we're proud to offer dental implants that can last 20-30 years or even a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.

Dental Implant Lifespan: What to Expect

Modern dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth. The titanium implant post, which fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, can last 25+ years or even a lifetime. However, the crown (the visible tooth part) may need replacement after 10-20 years due to normal wear.

Implant post (titanium screw): 25+ years to lifetime
Abutment (connector): 15-20 years average
Crown (visible tooth): 10-20 years depending on care
