How Long Do Dental Implants Last? 

I have had my implants for 31 years with no problems.

What’s the best option if you need 1 tooth replaced???

Synic gay sounds 😎

So what are you supposed to do after you've already paid the dentist $5000 and the crown and implant fails? Shell out another $5000 just to take the risk that it will happen again? You could buy a car with the amount of money being thrown away. This really makes me mad.

“Natural part is the best option, anything man made is second best” - this is most honest statement from any health care provider

I can't afford an implant, but if could, I would choose you!

I have had my implant for 32 years

Lost 2 front upper teeth when I was seventeen from the bandit's knuckle-duster. The implants were my salvation. I was able to install them only when I was 26 (complex and expensive case). But still, I was so happy when I got them. Almost 10 years since then. Like you said got one time a crown broken on business trip) Fixed it temporarily myself with a dental solution from a pharmacy. Otherwise, no problem. Almost 10 years. Implants is the best thing happened in the dental indusry ever.

I've had my 2 implants for 14 years with no problems. I make sure to brush and floss every day and see my dental hygienist twice a year for a cleaning. My dentist advised me to keep those expensive puppies extra clean. And as much money I have spent on my teeth over the years I do. I just wish I was as thorough in my younger years, then I wouldn't have had to get implants and all that other work done in the first place. 😄

I have an implant which is 30 years old and still goi ng strong. My 2 other implants are 11 years old, and also have had no problems. It's vital to maintain good oral hygiene, and have regular dental check ups

Very interesting thanks. I'm hoping to help mine last forever (or at least for as long as I care which will be a while) but I think the key is keeping up regular check-ups as well as general good practice like brushing and flossing. The longer you leave something ignored the greater chance of something going horribly wrong

I have implants for many years, and all are perfect. Keep them clean, regular dental checks, stay away from cigarettes, have a good diet and they will last. I spent too much money on efforts to keep some teeth going as long as possible, but it was a mistake. Keeping teeth that are ultimately unviable is probably a waste of time and money. I feel I should have got the three implants I eventually got much sooner than I did. Not arguing that implants are better, they're not, but you've got to recognize a lost cause as soon as possible.

Dr what do think about the stem cells in tooth implant ? I hope it came soon to us 🙏 .. I lost my teeth in accident and I'm so sad because of that

I had my dental implant in 1996 still great today. Make sure you are healthy, have healthy bones, do NOT smoke, do NOT drink and it should last a life time.

I can't understand young people getting veneers when they had nice teeth and they end up with big brilliant white teeth that look like Dentures.

Thank you Dr I am a dental technician in Dallas Texas I really appreciate you taking the time to educate us on some of this issues. Keep the videos coming.

Great information Dr. Most informative video so far. He is just so calm and thorough in delivering the information.

I need an implant but my last dentist quoted me $5,000 and the dentist i have now said $3,500 ,looks like ill be getting a bridge and then ill probably be living under one after paying that 😩

I'm watching this video again on a Saturday morning after a good workout I am the dental technician in Dallas Texas working in an all on X dental lab I watch all your videos, can you make a video on snap ons over implants. and how important is it to have and even distribution of the implants and how much cantilever is acceptable?

As a practicing Periodontist who sees failing dental implants almost every day, I fully agree that natural teeth if they can be saved is my preference. Dental implants succumb to the same diseases as teeth, breakdown of hard and soft tissue, negative effects of systemic disease such as diabetes and accelerated loss of support with grinding and clenching.

I can't wait until the common folk can afford these procedures. At the moment it's like paying for another house mortgage.

A lot of these problems that you mention about dental implants probably be monitored through regular x-rays every other year. Hopefully your dentist will keep an eye on the condition that only have fillings, inlays, crowns but also the implants and hopefully pick up problems early and address them appropriately.

Please Dont bring other countries down !!! I am from the UK and i can say here in Thailand they are way way way more advanced The dentist showed me 5 ways to go for an implant and spent hours going through the procedures In UK they did not care one bit it was take it or leave it aproach The equipment here and ct scans are way more advanced than i ever seen in UK I always thought like this doctor Thailand was behind in tech but Thailand has opened my eyes

Thank you doctor for putting light on this topic. Appreciate it 😊

I live in the US, had 1 front tooth #10 pulled 35 years ago, got a bridge held by two adjacent teeth, now they pulled #9, said there was a fracture, the one that held the fake tooth. So now I have one post #11, next is no tooth and next is no tooth. So I went to two dentists, asked if I can have two implants next to each other and where I have a post #11 just put a crown but both of them said its not a good idea to put two implants together, they didnt really explain well so anybody has two front implants next to each other and next to them is a crown?! I am so tired of a bridge since I was 16 yo, now early 50. Thank you

I've had full implants - upper and lower done in San Jose, Costa Rica by Dr. Marco Munoz Cavallini in May 2008 after a botched job in Lombard, IL. Dr. Cavallini was the 1st implantologist...his son did the dental work - beautiful work. I experienced my teeth loosening - I tended to my parents declining health since 2000, with my hair falling out... to this day my implants and teeth are impeccable. By the way I am a female posting on my boyfriends youtube.

Doc would appreciate a video on , when is rootcanal procedure needed & the pros & cons of it. Also cleaning of teeth done at the clinic is it really needed or is it just a gimmick.

Natural teeth DO LAST FOREVER, AND CAN. it’s only from process foods that we loose teeth. Skeletons have been found hundreds of years old with perfect teeth .

If any metal implant is there like a screw will it risky for those patients who do MRI scan?

Well I had cancer twice in last 10 years and it was havoc on my teeth. I’m hoping to get implants soon because right now I hate even going out in public anymore.

I was hit by a car while out walking and my front four top teeth were knocked out (also pallet broken in 2 places- not to mention all the other broken bones). I am planning on getting an implant supported bridge. I hope I can take proper care of them. My other teeth are in good shape.

Stop saying our real teeth are better. We Know that.. Were here because our teeth are not good..

I have to have implants soon, so I’m researching what to expect. Thanks for this helpful, informative video!

If I understood correctly, we should try keeping our natural teeth, for as long as we can.

One side lasted6 years, the other side is not right after 6 months. I think I clenched my teeth . I have bone loss and one side the fake teeth are loose and falling off. It never felt right. I'm 70 and neither my dentist or oral surgeon offer any solutions.

My advice never get them done cheaply in Turkey as a friend had her wisdom tooth replaced cheap with an implant in Turkey then a few months on her jaw got infected and the implant had to be removed and now when she talks you can see the damage thats been done to her jaw bone scary.

Doctor my inplant is done now i am waiting for healing my last appointment to surgent is 13 dec so after that they gona sent me to dentist to get crow on it so can i get crown in same day or it take time?

How does one even start choosing a dentist you can trust since charging more, doesn't necessarily guarantee workmanship???

I wondered about rejection of implants. Does it ever happen? At 82, I probably will never need this kind of procedure. I floss and brush after every meal and my dentist is happy with the state of my teeth and gums, although I am the one unhappy with some of the gum recession.

I am from Sydney and you Re awsome👏 Thank you so much you nailed it 👍

Good Info Doc, thanks for this very informative and useful video, God bless you 🙏

Funny you mention about bad timing of dental failures & those specific events you mention are uncanny. My crown fell off the day before I left for holiday & then several years later on NYE just before i was about to kiss a girl I met @ midnight.

Thank you for giving this presentation of common issues with implants. You've performed a valuable service to the public. Lots of information given at a level that everyone can understand. Philip Zivnuska DDS

Hi sehmi, what about if I don't like implants is there any other options?

A thorough & comprehensive lecture, well worth listening too !

Hi Dr Sehmi. At 12:08, why did this lady's implant a year to get resolved? Great videos. Very well explained

I'm 22 and on the tail end of my implant process and really appreciate what people like you, and the people that have helped me, do. I am starting my dentistry degree next year and with to continue on to dental prosthetics further down the line and hopefully give back to the profession in some sense. Thanks for the video and for what you do for people!

My 2 front teeth have feel out my mouth due to a fall. I need a bone graft now do you think it would be best to get implants?

Very informatove dr. thanks a lot for the advice lacking from most practitioners!!

Only get 100% ceramic implants . They are "bio-inert" . And the implant/abutment is only one piece .There are no threads . And no dissimilar metals , to generate a static charge of micro voltage . This can interfere with sleep .

There's nothing like your own teeth.

Thank you Dr Sehmi. Very informative.

Thanks for the very informative video. I am 66 and spent a lifetime of brushing and flossing but lost two teeth ( just broke off at the surface ) in the last couple months and am going for implants. Now at least I am going informed ... Cheers from Nova Scotia

Even with the natural teeth if you meet the wrong dentist you will get bigger issues with your teeth What I believe is having and being connected to the right people who are in the best interests of those they are helping If the dentist is a Good dentist that does Good job yes nothing last forever but you will have a long lasting implant If you go to the wrong dentist with little cavity he or she who isn't experienced in his or her career will drill your teeth down to the nerve causing you to end up needing a root canel My point is let's all pray let God direct us all to the right and good people instead of those that will make matters worse for us There are some very good dentists and there are some very bad dentists out there.

Abroad they offer lifetime guarantees on dental implants .

Sir what do u think till which year stem cell teeth regeneration come,? Actually I will probably lose one teeth due to resorption

If you have a tooth or three missing best option is to live with it

I’m ready to have my dentist rip all of my teeth out and put in all dental implants. No matter how much I brush and floss I still get cavities in the same teeth that prior dentists have fixed. I had a dentist tell me that unfortunately I just don’t have strong teeth and he prescribed me a fluoride gel, but I can’t use it because it gives me really bad headaches. I’m just ready to have a beautiful smile and teeth I don’t have to fill all of the time.

Brilliant explanation! Thank you from Los Angeles!

I have had mine for over 18 years with no problems. It depends on the dentist you go to.

have had two implants, both failed.. looking at one implant that I keep on my desk shelf.. expensive decoration.

Mine lasted 8 years and started shattering because the dentist didn’t use high density materials, now I’m stuck with embarrassing teeth as I can’t afford to replace them

Cringey , lots of unforseen potential failings .

I had mine put on in 2006 still going, Cleaning helps extend the longevity, Gum recession is noticeable.

What kind of bone graft material would you recommend? I have had a graft from animal's source and it has dislocated itself, forming a hard ball on my gum? I am not sure that receiving bone material from an other specie is a wise choice. I would not agree to it again. Your take on that? Thanks.

I appreciate a lot the information you provide which is very helpful and hard to get some where else, I trust your information and skills but unfortunately I live in New Zealand, Auckland, I wonder if you are aware of a good implants specialist, lot of thanks.

Animals in the wild never brush their teeth ever in their lives. Are their teeth constantly rotting, do they have sewer-breath?

Thank you so much for your honest opinion on implants. I have been considering them, but feel that they are very expensive to go ahead and find they are a mistake. or that I have issues with them.

Hi Dr Sehmi, what recommendation would you give. Im 32 and I had 3 premolars removed because of braces. Actually they were gonna be all 4 but the dentist office said to go another day to remove the final one due to reaching the allowed anesthesia. Well in the end i didn't go back because i read the downsides of removing premolar bicuspids and how it affects you in the long run and wasn't mentally prepared for it and didn't want to proceed. Its been 9 months now and i was looking to just have 3 implants put in 2 on top and 1 on the bottom of my right side. I still have braces on but not with the same ortho because i felt he he didnt care enough to educate or make a less invasive procedure and made an easy decision on his side even from the start of treatment. Anyways I from Texas and my city borders Mexico and my new ortho is in mexico which hes very good and the dental care he provides i feel is better that in Texas because he listens to his patients and gives his options and explains everything in detail. I was able to find a state certified maxillofacial surgeon in Mexico that does dental implants to jaw surgery among other stuff. Cost for all 3 implants from start to finish was an estimate of $4600 USD Total . Now i have questions of what i just saw on your video. It makes me not want to get them and proceed to remove the 4th premolar and close the gaps but then i read alot of threads where people got the same treatment as kids and now as adults regret it because of the downsides effects and are trying to reverse it and get implants so im just stuck in a bind.

So what is better then after tooth loss... Implant or nothing? 😬 .... Great channel and honest info - greetings 👌🙂

This is why I refuse to spend 5k usd for each implant before Dr bills. I need 6 and that's practically a new BMW at 55k.

What about the tooth in front of it and the one behind it …doesn’t that come in to play with an implant.. it did for me there was too much of a space between my implant and the tooth in front of it …and it caused my implant to come out …it literally just came out one day and I had a lot of pain with it …so the actual fit between the two adjacent teeth is very important

Why gorillas don’t get gum disease? They never wash their teeth. Or is their teeth made of different materials from humans ? thanks, 🙏

now that is a first to hear that. How can Titanium Implants break like that?!

OK, I'll bite. Subscribed.

Is Ti Al V alloy is toxic or worse compared to pure Titanium?

Thank you for some great information!

Why is it so darn expensive.?

I am 44 years and busy with full set of Implants in Sweden, I hope they will last for ever.

Also, the foods you eat, the ingredients in tooth paste, etc.

I have to get an implant and I'm terrified of the procedure. Any advice to get over this fear?

How about zirconia implants? I read that they are superior in every possible aspect to titanium ones. Is that true that they're also much more expensive?

Are root canal and implant available on the NHS?

Excellent overview, thanks for providing this

Wow. Like car insurance they should sell implant insurance.

I went full dentures with ti implants, bone grew over them, prior to last segment of implants. I clean dentures every night. So nice to not have bad breath, what do you have for under arms. If they do deep cleaning over and over, and after two weeks your gums keep bleeding. Stop getting milked, pull the teeth. By 2 nd year i love my dentures. Vista dental vancover washington. Best price and I got quoates from alot of places, here was price differance. $16,000 to $59,000

Thanks doc 👏👍

Have you heard of firm fit from sweden

had one for 22 years so far.

My front 2 bottom teeth are baby teeth that never came out and are giving me some issues due to some tartar buildup that exposed bone. Wouldn’t have been an issue if they were full sized adult teeth, but this little bit of bone exposure on the baby teeth sent them free Willy. Looking into either bridge or implants to correct the issue. Thank you

I rejected a tooth implant after 4 years later and during Christmas vacation. I'm too scared to get another one.

The single worst thing you can do to your health is getting a dental implant, unless it's an emergency.

Thank you Doctor for sharing that important information. It was wonderfully explained as well. I’m trying to help my sister. She has terrible bone loss and periodontal disease; pocketing at least 11+ each tooth. She doesn’t smile anymore, it looks really bad. She wants implants but her dentist is trying to scam her, offering a “lifetime warranty” for 80K full mouth. He’s not an oral surgeon but advertised as one. I hope she didn’t already give a down payment of 30K before starting the process. People please be careful.

Hmm... I'm going abroad to get a good service actually. All of the stuff that I had done in the UK over the past 15 years has cracked and resulted in a loss of 5 teeth. Even now I had two crowns fitted in UK in March/April, went to Poland and was told they were not fitted correctly because there's a tiny gap between the tooth and crown (I paid £2400 for them as well!). I'm sure there are plenty of good dentists in UK but I'm lucky to have a great dentist in Poland where crowns are half the price and implants are a 3rd of the price so I'd rather go there.

I'm having implants and crowns fitted now. The implants are OK but the crowns are still sensitive after 2 weeks. How long will this last.?

I can not carry 32 teeth because of my disability, over crowding problem, small jaw/mouth . I think I have 28 teeth including wisdom teeth . I go to the dentist regularly

Hi doctor Sehmi, thank you for all the information that you provide here. I would like to visit you as I need an Implant, however I live on the other side of the world. Can you recommend an oral surgeon in Sydney Australia. Thank you.

Obviously you are talking about the British teeth that are horrible for some reason , I am Canadian and have great teeth, I was hit by a hockey puck while playing hockey and 10 years ago I had an implant, it cost me $2000 CD just for the implanted post plus another $400, to sterilize the room and all equipment as I am immunosuppressed due to an organ transplant, everything was covered with special fabric, plus of course the fees for the dentist who made the implant and glued it. I have zero issues with that tooth and no issues with the gums

Very honest, which probably means you are very competent and extremely ethical with your patients.

Nice video on dental implant. whether a CABG patient can undergo dental Implants. what are the pros and cons .
