With proper oral hygiene and regular examination, dental implants can be used for many years. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, teeth grinding (bruxism), and poor oral hygiene may shorten the lifespan of dental implants.

Mild pain and swelling within the first 24–72 hours are normal. A dentist should be consulted in the presence of findings such as increasing pain, heavy bleeding, fever, or foul odor.

A dental implant is a titanium artificial root that replaces the function of a missing tooth root. It is planned when there is adequate bone volume and the patient’s systemic health is suitable. After surgical placement, fusion with the bone (osseointegration) is expected; the long-term success of the implant depends on the patient’s oral hygiene and routine follow-up.
