That crowns have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 yrs....and that an implant doesn't mean you won't need to Service it. I just went through 6 months of trying to determine what kind of Implant I have so the dentist could find the right screw driver to tighten my implant from 15 yrs ago that went loose. Always ALWAYS find out what kind of implant it is so you do not have to go through what I just did....Keep it in your fireproof documents. I had no idea how important it was to know which kind it was.... and at that time I had 3 implants done...and it cost me over $20,000!
