implant longevity

Implant longevity refers to how long an implanted medical device, such as a joint replacement or dental implant, remains functional and effective in the body. It depends on factors like the implant's materials, design, how well it's maintained, and the patient's activity level and health. Most implants are designed to last many years—often 10 to 20 years or more—but this can vary. Regular check-ups and proper care can help extend the lifespan of the implant, reducing the need for additional surgeries or replacements in the future.
