How long do full mouth dental implants last?

Full mouth dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime, as the titanium implants fuse with the jawbone and have a very high long-term success rate. However, the attached teeth (bridge) will wear over time and may need to be replaced depending on the material used.

How long do full mouth implant teeth last?

At Perth Dental Implant Centre, full mouth treatment is completed in stages through our Revive packages:

• Revive Basic (custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) bridge for an immediate solution):
  A fixed custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) bridge is used as your initial set of teeth and typically lasts 1–2 years before replacement.
• Revive Essential (custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) → ceramic upgrade for a long-term solution):
  Includes an custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) bridge (1–2 years), followed by a stronger ceramic or zirconia bridge, which can last 10–15 years or more.
• Revive Advanced (designed for complex cases):
  Includes both stages, with a focus on specialised techniques and long-term durability using high-quality ceramic or zirconia materials designed for 10–15+ years of use. You can learn more about Revive packages on our Prices page.

What affects how long full mouth dental implants last?

The lifespan of your implants and bridge depends on several factors:

• Material of the teeth: Custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) vs ceramic/zirconia
• Clinician experience: Planning and surgical precision are critical
• Oral hygiene: Daily care and professional cleaning
• Bite forces: Grinding or clenching can increase wear*
• Ongoing maintenance: Regular check-ups help extend lifespan

*All our Revive packages include a custom-fitted nightguard to protect your investment.

Do full mouth dental implants need to be replaced?

• Implants (titanium posts): Designed to last long-term
• Bridge (teeth): Will need repairs and/or replacement over time due to normal wear

With proper care, both custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) and zirconia bridges may last longer than average.
