When the implant is secured to the jaw, it can be said that it would last for a lifetime. Because the structure and operation of the implanted teeth are similar to the structure and operation of the real teeth which creates stimulation force to the jaw bone that maintains the bone density needed to hold the implant.

How do dental implants work?

First, your dentist will assess your dental condition, especially the teeth lost area through on-site examination and X-rays (preferably CT) to develop a treatment plan that works best for you. You will know where your implant is located, how many should be placed, require bone graft or not, treatment duration?

Normally, treatment consists of 3 stages:

1. Placing the implant on the jawbone.

2. Attaching the healing abutment (3-6 months after implant placement).

3. Securing dental prosthetic on the implant (3 weeks after healing).

However, depending on the case of teeth loss, bone condition, gum at the teeth loss area, oral health, general health, and technical performance with treatment time can be shortened to just a few days or last 1-2 years.
