While dental implants do not experience decay and cavities like natural teeth, they still rely on healthy gums and care to last a long time. It’s important to clean your implants at home and continue to see your dentist regularly for preventative cleanings and checkups. Every patient is different, and different factors will influence whether or not dental implant treatment is successful, including medical history, current underlying health issues, gum disease and more. If an implant starts to fail, finding the underlying problem early may help to avoid the need to surgically remove it.
