What are the Success Rates of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are one of the most successful cosmetic dentistry procedures at this time. Research shows that the five-year success rates for the lower and upper jaw implants are at 95 percent and 90 percent, respectively. The implant may fail due to different causes; however, cigarette smoking can significantly slow down the process of tissue healing. Smoking cessation is necessary before and during the treatment.
