What is the success rate of dental implants?

Dental implants provide a permanent replacement for missing teeth in 90% of patients.

In rare cases, the implantation process of dental implants will fail. This is normally caused by problems during the osseointegration faze of treatment that prevents the implant from attaching to the jawbone correctly. Smokers have a higher risk of dental implant failure.

Dental implants using porcelain dental crowns are more successful when implanted into the lower jaw.
