While there is no accurate way to predict how each individual will respond, Dr. Wolf’s long-term success rate for permanent teeth dental implants is high. Most of our patients that had dental implants placed 15 years ago are still smiling and chewing with them today. We have seen some older style dental implants that were placed 30 years ago and they are still in place. That has consistently been the case for around 97% of the dental implants that Dr. Wolf has placed. Dental Implants will serve you well for many years if you take care of them and keep your mouth healthy. This means taking the time to maintain good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) and keeping regular appointments with your dental specialists.
