All-on-4 teeth are designed to be functional for many years.
With good care, there’s no reason why your implants can’t last a lifetime. However, your fixed bridge is likely to need replacing after 5-10 years.
To maximise your bridge’s lifespan, make sure you:
- Visit the dentist and hygienist for check-ups and routine cleanings.
- Adopt a good at-home oral care routine (implants can still sustain gum disease!).
- Do not smoke (this is one of the biggest reasons why implants fail, as it cuts off the vital blood supply to the gums).
