Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed directly into the jawbone to restore missing teeth. Although implants are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, they aren\u2019t permanent. If you have implants, you may want to replace them at some point in the future. If your dentist<\/a> recommends removing your current implants, it doesn\u2019t mean you can never get new ones again. In fact, many dentists recommend replacing your old implants after about 10 years for optimum oral health and function. However, there are circumstances where replacing your old dental screws is not possible or advisable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dental implants are not permanent?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Implants<\/a> are a long-term solution, but they may eventually wear out. In fact, the life span of dental screws depends on a number of factors like oral hygiene, your general health, and the extent of bone loss in your jaw. A healthy mouth can support dental implants for many years, and a single dental implant can last between 10 and 20 years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, when your oral health has declined to the point that it affects the overall health of your body, your implants may fail much sooner. Dental implants<\/a> are not permanent. They actually fuse with your bone and become a part of your body. However, your jawbone does not regenerate lost bone tissue. If you lose bone, you cannot replace it. If your jawbone has lost significant volume or density, you may need to replace your old implants to prevent further bone loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Reasons for replacing dental implants<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While most dental<\/a> screws last a long time, there are some circumstances where you may have to replace them. If your oral health has declined significantly since your last dental implant, you may need to replace them. If you have gum disease, periodontal disease, or any other infections in your mouth, your implants may need to be removed. If your implants are loose or misshapen (poor osseointegration), you may need to replace your existing implants. If your jawbone has lost significant volume or density, you may need to replace your old dental screws to prevent further bone loss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
