1 Strong and stable, a dental implant restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, fits and functions like a natural tooth. Other options can lead to bone deterioration, and may interfere with eating, smiling, speaking and other activities of everyday life.  Built to last. Dental implants are a long-term solution. Traditional, tooth-supported dental bridges only last five to seven years, and with proper care often more than 10 years, but at some point they may need to be replaced. While dental implants may need periodic adjustments, they can last a lifetime when properly placed and cared for over time.
How Long Have People Had Dental Implants? In 2015 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first dental implant procedure. The patient in that procedure received four dental implants. All four dental implants survived until he passed away in 2006, having had his dental implants for more than 40 years. The second dental implant patient received his six implants a couple years later. He is still alive and still has all six dental implants, now approaching 50 years of attractiveness and function.
