## What Do Success Rates Look Like?

Across the UK and internationally, dental implants show consistently high success rates. Most studies report:

- 📊 **90–95% success over 10 years**
- 📊 **80–85% survival at 20+ years**

Success means the implant remains secure, functional, and free from major complications. These figures make implants one of the most reliable options for replacing missing teeth.

## What Factors Influence Success?

While the overall outlook is excellent, implant success depends on several factors:

- 🪥 **Oral hygiene** – daily cleaning and regular hygiene visits are essential.
- 🚭 **Smoking** – significantly increases the risk of implant failure.
- 🦷 **Gum and bone health** – active gum disease or bone loss must be treated first.
- 👩‍⚕️ **Clinician skill** – experienced teams using proven systems deliver higher success rates.
- 📅 **Long-term maintenance** – ongoing care is key to avoiding peri-implantitis.
