Dental Implant Statistics

40 percent of denture wearers have worn the same device for over ten years. This increases bone loss.
Survival rates for dental implants and devices for single tooth replacements range from 95% to 100% for almost seven years. Patients spend over $145 million a year for denture adhesive.

Dental implants can withstand 450 pounds per square inch of biting pressure. By contrast, dentures often cannot withstand no more than 50 pounds per square inch.

Since a minimum of five dental appointments are needed currently to place an implant, every dentist would need 20 appointments every month for 20 years to treat and place support devices in the population of those patients that are missing teeth.
