With all the things to worry about, how successful are implants?
Maybe this should have been the first question. But we feel strongly that the public should understand everything there is to know about implants. Implants placed by most periodontists and dental surgeons today, have a high degree of success. In fact, they are close to 95% successful in the mandible (lower jaw) and 90% successful in the maxilla (upper jaw). These percentages may vary slightly from surgeon to surgeon and among implant types, but as a rule, titanium implant dental fixtures are predictably successful.
