Dental implants are the most expensive treatment that you can get at the dentist, but how long should dental implants last?
The truth is that they do not last forever.
In this video, we will look at the different ways that dental implants can fail, and some ways that we can make them last longer.

Over the years, we have had dental implant failures due to the implants fracturing, gum disease around dental implants, and cosmetic failures due to less-than-perfect dental implant placement.
I have had my implants for 31 years with no problems.
It good to know that,thanks
They can last a lifetime, and that's the goal! But this is not the case for everyone
@@drgurssehmi true. I know many older person's implants lasted just few years, less than 5 years..!! They got removed for various reasons like breaking, gum infection around implant etc. Now they are using dentures happily..!! Its always better to save RCT tooth with Care and regular checking.
May I ask where did you have them done
@@gohrt9139 In Sweden but I don't recall what the system is called. I do remember that they are made of Platinum.
“Natural part is the best option, anything man made is second best” - this is most honest statement from any health care provider
Great information Dr. Most informative video so far. He is just so calm and thorough in delivering the information.
Thank you doctor for putting light on this topic. Appreciate it 😊
A thorough & comprehensive lecture, well worth listening too !
I can't afford an implant, but if could, I would choose you!
Lost 2 front upper teeth when I was seventeen from the bandit's knuckle-duster. The implants were my salvation. I was able to install them only when I was 26 (complex and expensive case). But still, I was so happy when I got them. Almost 10 years since then. Like you said got one time a crown broken on business trip) Fixed it temporarily myself with a dental solution from a pharmacy. Otherwise, no problem. Almost 10 years. Implants is the best thing happened in the dental indusry ever.
Excellent overview, thanks for providing this
Very honest, which probably means you are very competent and extremely ethical with your patients.
Very informatove dr. thanks a lot for the advice lacking from most practitioners!!
Very interesting thanks.
I'm hoping to help mine last forever (or at least for as long as I care which will be a while) but I think the key is keeping up regular check-ups as well as general good practice like brushing and flossing. The longer you leave something ignored the greater chance of something going horribly wrong
The plate is so close to the gum that you can't get underneath. Good luck.
Thank you Dr I am a dental technician in Dallas Texas I really appreciate you taking the time to educate us on some of this issues. Keep the videos coming.
what is a dental technician?
@@krrete I make the teeth the Dr puts in people's mouths 😁
Hey I am looking for a good trustworthy dentist near Dallas Texas region. Can you suggest me one ?
Shouldn't you know this already??
@@karlabritfeld7104 being a dental technician has many facets crown and bridge, implants, removable dentures, all in X partials, and recently digital designing ect all of them are related but not one person masters all of them I am an all around technician but it's all always good to be remained of this things. And to answer your question yes I knew some of the stuff the Dr was talking about but there was little nuggets in between.
I have implants for many years, and all are perfect. Keep them clean, regular dental checks, stay away from cigarettes, have a good diet and they will last. I spent too much money on efforts to keep some teeth going as long as possible, but it was a mistake. Keeping teeth that are ultimately unviable is probably a waste of time and money. I feel I should have got the three implants I eventually got much sooner than I did. Not arguing that implants are better, they're not, but you've got to recognize a lost cause as soon as possible.
Thanks for the very informative video. I am 66 and spent a lifetime of brushing and flossing but lost two teeth ( just broke off at the surface ) in the last couple months and am going for implants. Now at least I am going informed ... Cheers from Nova Scotia
Brilliant explanation! Thank you from Los Angeles!
I have to have implants soon, so I’m researching what to expect. Thanks for this helpful, informative video!
Hi did you have your implants done,how are your implanted teeth right now.
So what are you supposed to do after you've already paid the dentist $5000 and the crown and implant fails? Shell out another $5000 just to take the risk that it will happen again? You could buy a car with the amount of money being thrown away. This really makes me mad.
I'm 22 and on the tail end of my implant process and really appreciate what people like you, and the people that have helped me, do. I am starting my dentistry degree next year and with to continue on to dental prosthetics further down the line and hopefully give back to the profession in some sense. Thanks for the video and for what you do for people!
How'd the implant process go? I'm 22 rn and looking at getting a tooth extracted and implants looking like the only options I've got!
@@averywood6326did you did it ?
Thank you Dr Sehmi. Very informative.
Thank you for some great information!
Thank you for your honesty
Love your honest videos ❤️
Really informative a d well articulated. Thank you! :)
Thank you very much for all your info on dental implants.
I had my dental implant in 1996 still great today. Make sure you are healthy, have healthy bones, do NOT smoke, do NOT drink and it should last a life time.
Almost 30 years that’s beautiful
Is drinking also harmful?
And can we smoke like sometimes??
Doesn't sound like too much fun..🤣
Substance use isn’t everyone ideal fun.
Yea well when your working to barely stay alive, drinking and smoking are the only things keeping me going. Can't say I'm looking forward to working another 30yrs to be just getting by
Thank you so much for your honest opinion on implants. I have been considering them, but feel that they are very expensive to go ahead and find they are a mistake. or that I have issues with them.
Good Info Doc, thanks for this very informative and useful video, God bless you 🙏
I am from Sydney and you Re awsome👏
Thank you so much you nailed it 👍
Thank you for giving this presentation of common issues with implants. You've performed a valuable service to the public. Lots of information given at a level that everyone can understand. Philip Zivnuska DDS
A lot of these problems that you mention about dental implants probably be monitored through regular x-rays every other year. Hopefully your dentist will keep an eye on the condition that only have fillings, inlays, crowns but also the implants and hopefully pick up problems early and address them appropriately.
Funny you mention about bad timing of dental failures & those specific events you mention are uncanny. My crown fell off the day before I left for holiday & then several years later on NYE just before i was about to kiss a girl I met @ midnight.
I had mine put on in 2006 still going, Cleaning helps extend the longevity, Gum recession is noticeable.
I have had my implant for 32 years
Went to get implant consultation the other day he told 5-10 years
Yes, the longevity of implants can vary. Some of the factors involved include gum and bone health. I eat a very healthy diet and do take some supplements. The reason my implant ultimately failed was because I had two molars removed about two years before and it put pressure on the front tooth implant (i also grind my teeth). The titanium implant snapped. I had a new one put in as well as two molar implants and they are doing well.@@TeeTee-zm2re
As a practicing Periodontist who sees failing dental implants almost every day, I fully agree that natural teeth if they can be saved is my preference. Dental implants succumb to the same diseases as teeth, breakdown of hard and soft tissue, negative effects of systemic disease such as diabetes and accelerated loss of support with grinding and clenching.
Thanks for your honesty. Very few dentists are like you. Socrates said being honest to ones own self is the best service one can do society. Such people naturally honest to others and out side as wel.
A good dentist would take X-rays of the bone to make sure the implants won’t be rejected.

Thank you for your honesty, which is quite rare among dentists. Every dentist I've seen tries to sell me implants. And they all say they last forever & the success rate is over 95%. Lying for profit is disgusting.
I'm watching this video again on a Saturday morning after a good workout I am the dental technician in Dallas Texas working in an all on X dental lab I watch all your videos, can you make a video on snap ons over implants. and how important is it to have and even distribution of the implants and how much cantilever is acceptable?
Well I had cancer twice in last 10 years and it was havoc on my teeth. I’m hoping to get implants soon because right now I hate even going out in public anymore.
I was hit by a car while out walking and my front four top teeth were knocked out (also pallet broken in 2 places- not to mention all the other broken bones). I am planning on getting an implant supported bridge. I hope I can take proper care of them. My other teeth are in good shape.
I would get a screw in one if I would be you. They can take them off easy and put them back on. If there is a problem or for cleaning. I never see this technic on YT. I have screw in, and I can even take care of them myself. Doctors do not like that, but my doc knows me very well.
I have an implant which is 30 years old and still goi ng strong. My 2 other implants are 11 years old, and also have had no problems. It's vital to maintain good oral hygiene, and have regular dental check ups
How do u take care of ur dental implants do they use a Special floss?
@@twothirty5498 I brush, floss, and use a Proxabrush, daily. I am meticulous with my cleaning. I have invested a lot of money and time , so want to keep them. One of the most important factors when you decide to go ahead with implants, is to find the best periodontist you can find. I am fortunate to have a dentist who referred me to one of the top specialists where I live. They were not cheap, but you are investing in your health, and want them to last.
@Tayyab Shafiq I lost a lower molar years ago, and replaced the mising tooth with an implant. That was 30 years ago, and it's fine. I am sorry to hear that you need implant work at such a young ago. Your oral health is so important, so don't be afraid to have implant work done to replace missing teeth. Maks sure you have a reputable specialist check you, and that you can have implant work done. Also, the materials used for impants today are not rejected by the body. Implants, when done properly, are like having your natural teeth back again! I wish you the best of luck, and good health!
@Tayyab Shafiq I have the same crown for 30 years with no problem. As far as I know, my implant crown is porcelain. I have had no issues with it. As long as the crowns are well made, they should last years.
@karenpalladini5010 does implant cause any health problems in long run what was ur age when u got implant ?, im quite young and i may be getting 3 molars implants ( my other teeths are quite healthy including wisdom ones its just those 3 second molars who got rct and 2 of them is failing so)
I've had my 2 implants for 14 years with no problems. I make sure to brush and floss every day and see my dental hygienist twice a year for a cleaning. My dentist advised me to keep those expensive puppies extra clean. And as much money I have spent on my teeth over the years I do. I just wish I was as thorough in my younger years, then I wouldn't have had to get implants and all that other work done in the first place. 😄
This is my problem as well but can’t dwell on the past too much. Taking care of my teeth a lot better now though
Is it good for chewing
@@Jaihindurashtra1 Sure. I just wouldn't recommend chewing anything hard like a jawbreaker. 😀
@@thenuclearsandwich like meat or nut are they chewable
@@Jaihindurashtra1 I would use caution with nuts like almonds. Meats are fine unless you're trying to rip off a piece of something like beef jerky. LOL I may be a bit over cautious but I don't want to press my luck and regret it later. Basically, if you have any regular crowns already use the same care.
Very interesting and easy listening.
Also, the foods you eat, the ingredients in tooth paste, etc.
I appreciate a lot the information you provide which is very helpful and hard to get some where else, I trust your information and skills but unfortunately I live in New Zealand, Auckland, I wonder if you are aware of a good implants specialist, lot of thanks.
It’s important to use a water pick to clean the gums around the implants.
Hi Dr Sehmi. At 12:08, why did this lady's implant a year to get resolved? Great videos. Very well explained
Doc would appreciate a video on , when is rootcanal procedure needed & the pros & cons of it. Also cleaning of teeth done at the clinic is it really needed or is it just a gimmick.
Good question!
I wonder that too because my orthodoncist give me appointments every 5 months and I suspect is just for the money.
Why not once a year? It would be more reasonable. Too much deep cleaning could damage the teeth and gums even more.
But they are supossed to know best.
Great video!
Thanks! Although your comment is bias 😂
wish you lived near me. great content. thanks.
Very honest and informative!
Please
Dont bring other countries down !!!
I am from the UK and i can say here in Thailand they are way way way more advanced
The dentist showed me 5 ways to go for an implant and spent hours going through the procedures
In UK they did not care one bit it was take it or leave it aproach
The equipment here and ct scans are way more advanced than i ever seen in UK
I always thought like this doctor Thailand was behind in tech but Thailand has opened my eyes
lol check the difference between Spain and Germany.. Germany is like middle ages too and way to high costs. I heard about Thailand and many people go there get the teeth done without regrets.
Also Turkey is best place to get implant and high tech.
I agree. I used to live in Dubai and never had issues with the dentist. Every operation was perfect.
I now live in the UK, had one filling which the dentist insisted should be a glass-ionomer, and the filling moved causing a “leak” which led to an infection. I returned to the dentist with a swollen gum and pus 1 week later, she said it was a “high bite” and shaved some of the filling. 2 weeks later the pain went, but a recurring abscess formed.
I then returned after 5 months to find out that it was never a “high bite” but an infection due to a botched filling, and the pain only subsided because my nerve died! Useless! And to have found out that resin, which I wanted, has better adhesive properties and durability and this probably would never have happened!
I went for a second opinion as I needed a root canal, and the botch dentist wanted to do it telling me I have a month until it needs to be extracted.
Turns out, I have about sixth months before that stage, and I have been referred to a specialist because general dentists shouldn’t operate on branched infections if they don’t need to.
Pathetic in this country, there are hardly any regulations keeping these botch jobs in check. A bad filling could end up with failed implants, it’s a terrible thing to have such little care for such an artistic practice!
Thanks doc 👏👍
Mine lasted 8 years and started shattering because the dentist didn’t use high density materials, now I’m stuck with embarrassing teeth as I can’t afford to replace them
I have been watching your videos a lot lately. I have to get an implant to failed root canal . I will never get a root canal ever again !
My advice never get them done cheaply in Turkey as a friend had her wisdom tooth replaced cheap with an implant in Turkey then a few months on her jaw got infected and the implant had to be removed and now when she talks you can see the damage thats been done to her jaw bone scary.
I've had full implants - upper and lower done in San Jose, Costa Rica by Dr. Marco Munoz Cavallini in May 2008 after a botched job in Lombard, IL. Dr. Cavallini was the 1st implantologist...his son did the dental work - beautiful work. I experienced my teeth loosening - I tended to my parents declining health since 2000, with my hair falling out... to this day my implants and teeth are impeccable. By the way I am a female posting on my boyfriends youtube.
Stress makes you losing teeth.some people lose their good teeth in months.
Hi doctor Sehmi, thank you for all the information that you provide here. I would like to visit you as I need an Implant, however I live on the other side of the world. Can you recommend an oral surgeon in Sydney Australia. Thank you.
Thank you very much. I wish I was in the UK 🇬🇧
I wondered about rejection of implants. Does it ever happen? At 82, I probably will never need this kind of procedure. I floss and brush after every meal and my dentist is happy with the state of my teeth and gums, although I am the one unhappy with some of the gum recession.
I am having my 2 front teeth installed at the end of the month. I spent 8300.00 to have 2 teeth done . It is being done in the USA, I am concerned just in general. You are informative, thank you. I live in Florida, the dentist has been very popular where I live at here in Florida. This is a very wealthy community, he specializes in cosmetic dentistry. . Because I had thick jaw bone , the process only took a few months
Had uppers done. I have lost 3 lower implants and 3 posts in upper festered out.
Interesting video. Sort of gives me a little insight into some reasons for implant failures. I came across an article that talks about how millions of americans are experiencing failed dental implants. it sort of concerns me, because I have had an implant several years ago. my implant seems to be doing great, even though I dont take great care of my teeth. I think a major problem with implants is that people go cheap as possible with materials, and experience of the dentist. My dentist was one of the more expensive and experienced people, who did things like produce surgical guides to ensure absolutely correct angles of placement. He also was extremely careful in drilling into bone graft, by drilling into bone a little, and doing digital x-ray, drill some more, x-ray, multiple times, ensuring he drilled deep enough, but not too deep.(apparently it is possible to get carried away with the drilling, and drill into a nerve, causing long term pain and problems.) It also took almost 1 year of bone graft healing, implant healing, and final placement of crown. It seems very common for inexperienced dentists to jump in and offer implants. They may be cutting corners on material, and procedures.
My dentist wants to do a bone graft first, let that heal for 3-6 months, then put the abutment, let that heal, then put the permanent tooth on. And I prefer this slower process. He’s able to keep an eye on the healing process and fix anything that may go wrong. I’ll also get them checked and cleaned twice a year, as well as taking care of them as I should. It’ll be a process, but I’m excited.
@@heathermarie3672 I had an implant done the way you describe about 10 years ago. still holding up great. Took almost 1 year from start to finish. Also done by guys that are experts on bone healing, and implants.
How does one even start choosing a dentist you can trust since charging more, doesn't necessarily guarantee workmanship???
Thank you Doctor for sharing that important information. It was wonderfully explained as well. I’m trying to help my sister. She has terrible bone loss and periodontal disease; pocketing at least 11+ each tooth. She doesn’t smile anymore, it looks really bad. She wants implants but her dentist is trying to scam her, offering a “lifetime warranty” for 80K full mouth. He’s not an oral surgeon but advertised as one. I hope she didn’t already give a down payment of 30K before starting the process. People please be careful.
Nice video on dental implant. whether a CABG patient can undergo dental Implants. what are the pros and cons .
have had two implants, both failed.. looking at one implant that I keep on my desk shelf.. expensive decoration.
My 2 front teeth have feel out my mouth due to a fall. I need a bone graft now do you think it would be best to get implants?
So what is better then after tooth loss... Implant or nothing? 😬 .... Great channel and honest info - greetings 👌🙂
If you get them done by True North Dentistry in Plattsburgh Ny they last about a week.
I appreciate the video.
Hmm... I'm going abroad to get a good service actually. All of the stuff that I had done in the UK over the past 15 years has cracked and resulted in a loss of 5 teeth. Even now I had two crowns fitted in UK in March/April, went to Poland and was told they were not fitted correctly because there's a tiny gap between the tooth and crown (I paid £2400 for them as well!). I'm sure there are plenty of good dentists in UK but I'm lucky to have a great dentist in Poland where crowns are half the price and implants are a 3rd of the price so I'd rather go there.
Doctor my inplant is done now i am waiting for healing my last appointment to surgent is 13 dec so after that they gona sent me to dentist to get crow on it so can i get crown in same day or it take time?
Are root canal and implant available on the NHS?
I can't understand young people getting veneers when they had nice teeth and they end up with big brilliant white teeth that look like Dentures.
My front 2 bottom teeth are baby teeth that never came out and are giving me some issues due to some tartar buildup that exposed bone. Wouldn’t have been an issue if they were full sized adult teeth, but this little bit of bone exposure on the baby teeth sent them free Willy. Looking into either bridge or implants to correct the issue. Thank you
At what age did the issue start if you don't mind sharing?
@@mango-strawberry what issue? The bone exposure/tartar buildup? It just started becoming an issue about a year ago, when I was 22. Probably would’ve been able to put things off a bit longer if I’d gotten the tartar removed earlier.
@@brandonsheaffer5035 6
One side lasted6 years, the other side is not right after 6 months.
I think I clenched my teeth . I have bone loss and one side the fake teeth are loose and falling off.
It never felt right. I'm 70 and neither my dentist or oral surgeon offer any solutions.

If any metal implant is there like a screw will it risky for those patients who do MRI scan?
What about the tooth in front of it and the one behind it …doesn’t that come in to play with an implant.. it did for me there was too much of a space between my implant and the tooth in front of it …and it caused my implant to come out …it literally just came out one day and I had a lot of pain with it …so the actual fit between the two adjacent teeth is very important
I live in the US, had 1 front tooth #10 pulled 35 years ago, got a bridge held by two adjacent teeth, now they pulled #9, said there was a fracture, the one that held the fake tooth. So now I have one post #11, next is no tooth and next is no tooth. So I went to two dentists, asked if I can have two implants next to each other and where I have a post #11 just put a crown but both of them said its not a food ides to put two implants together, they didnt really explain well so anybody has two front implants next to each other and next to them is a crown?! I am so tired of a bridge since I was 16 yo, now early 50. Thank you
I need an implant but my last dentist quoted me $5,000 and the dentist i have now said $3,500 ,looks like ill be getting a bridge and then ill probably be living under one after paying that 😩
implant + tooth ? In Paris, not the cheapest dentist: implant is 1000$ + crown 1200 $ = 2200$ and i got a 20% knock-off because i paid in cash .=1760$ ( skimming is highly appreciated if you dare to ask )
@@quinquiry i just had a root canal ,xrays and a cleaning .after insurance it was $2900 out of pocket 🤯
that last part made me laugh but the fact it could come true for some people is quite sad I could use a replacement tooth too but I just get a flipper for now because I don't wanna get a bridge unless implants are out of the question after looking into long term consequences of shaving down teeth so aggressively
It all depends...
Hi sehmi, what about if I don't like implants is there any other options?
Great video a must watch. Dr Sehmi is a really nice engaging gent who's expert opinion is most valuable for those considering cosmetic dentistry.
Is a Marilyn bridge a good option?
I've had a tooth break off of my upper partial and so I superglued it back on. Worked like a charm and saved me a bunch of $$$.
No way
@@tswwarrior8089 Yes way! As a matter of fact, the gum part that the teeth are mounted to, separated from the metal plate last week and I super glued them back on, and they're still holding strong. What do you think they use to hold them in when they're sent in for repair?
@Saxon idk but I didn't think literal superglue
@@tswwarrior8089 Well, they could be using some sort of epoxy but if super glue works.
Only get 100% ceramic implants . They are "bio-inert" . And the implant/abutment is only one piece .There are no threads . And no dissimilar metals , to generate a static charge of micro voltage . This can interfere with sleep .
I have a question. If someone has no teeth for over 20 years and pretty much eats every like steak, potato chip, toast and so on no food that’s hard like peanuts tho how long will the gums last or will there be long term problems that I might not be aware of 🤔
Dr what do think about the stem cells in tooth implant ? I hope it came soon to us 🙏 .. I lost my teeth in accident and I'm so sad because of that
What are stem cells? People say that stem cells in dental implants can grow new teeth
Hi there,
How is better, to put implant immediately after extraction of a tooth? Or is better to wait after extraction a while for bone to regenerate?
I have a teeth removed at young age, so i am interrested if is better to put implant later in life?!
Is Ti Al V alloy is toxic or worse compared to pure Titanium?
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 😀 🙂 ❤❤
I can not carry 32 teeth because of my disability, over crowding problem, small jaw/mouth . I think I have 28 teeth including wisdom teeth . I go to the dentist regularly
Age is a big factor.
Bone loss
Receding gums
Just like dentures or crowns
I am sure they need to be modified as you age
I'm having implants and crowns fitted now. The implants are OK but the crowns are still sensitive after 2 weeks. How long will this last.?
now that is a first to hear that. How can Titanium Implants break like that?!
Sir what do u think till which year stem cell teeth regeneration come,?
Actually I will probably lose one teeth due to resorption
I’m ready to have my dentist rip all of my teeth out and put in all dental implants. No matter how much I brush and floss I still get cavities in the same teeth that prior dentists have fixed. I had a dentist tell me that unfortunately I just don’t have strong teeth and he prescribed me a fluoride gel, but I can’t use it because it gives me really bad headaches. I’m just ready to have a beautiful smile and teeth I don’t have to fill all of the time.
A real dentist....hard to find a true dentist...
Interesting info. except: What would the good doctor suggest if we have an absessed tooth that is problematical? Would he recommend simply removing the tooth and leaving it at that? Would he recommend a root canal, which has its own problems? The base situation that he identifies at the beginning of the video (removal of perfectly good teeth and replacement with implants) seems an extremely unusual (and amazingly expensive) proposition that would apply to very few patients.
He didn't seem to address the issue of just pulling the tooth and doing nothing because most people think their whole set of teeth must be perfect. I think what he was saying was that implants are technically better than any other repair, such as root canals and crowns, bridges, dentures etc. Being old, when I had a tooth go bad under crown I considered no other option than to have it pulled and doing nothing else
Have you heard of firm fit from sweden
I had 12 years ago 8 implants no problem at all sir
