How long do dental implants last in Darwen?

Dental implants at Station House Dental Care use Straumann components, which have a documented survival rate of 96.4% at 10 years. The titanium post can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene. The ceramic crown may require replacement after 15 to 20 years. Implants are the only tooth replacement that preserves jaw bone and prevents the bone loss that occurs with dentures and bridges.

What happens if a dental implant fails?

Implant failure is uncommon — occurring in approximately 3 to 5% of cases — and is most associated with smoking, poor bone quality, or systemic health conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes. If an implant fails to integrate, the post can be removed and the site allowed to heal. A replacement implant is typically placed after a healing period. At Station House Dental Care we assess risk factors thoroughly at the consultation to minimise this risk.

Is dental implant surgery painful?

Dental implant surgery at Station House Dental Care is performed under local anaesthetic. The procedure itself is typically pain-free. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild to moderate for 2 to 4 days and is managed with over-the-counter pain relief. In a survey of our implant patients, 94% rated the pain as minimal or none during the procedure itself.

Clinical Evidence for Dental Implants

Dental implant survival is among the most extensively documented outcomes in clinical dentistry. The Straumann Dental Implant System, used exclusively at Station House, has published 10-year survival rates of 96.4% across multiple independent clinical studies (Straumann Clinical Outcomes, 2024). The International Team for Implantology (ITI) systematic review (Tomasi et al., 2008) confirmed cumulative 10-year survival rates of 94–97% for single-tooth implants in healthy patients. A critical differentiator from fixed bridges is that implants preserve alveolar bone through osseointegration — the process by which the titanium post biologically fuses with surrounding bone. Studies show that without a root replacement, 25% of alveolar bone width is lost within the first year after extraction (Schropp et al., 2003). This bone preservation function is unique to implants among tooth replacement options.

Why Dental Implants Are the Clinical Gold Standard

The reason dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement is not aesthetic — it is physiological. The titanium post integrates directly with living bone through a process called osseointegration, effectively becoming the functional equivalent of a natural tooth root. This stimulates the jaw bone exactly as a natural tooth does, preventing the bone resorption that occurs with every other replacement option.

A bridge — the traditional alternative — requires the preparation of two adjacent healthy teeth as abutments. Those teeth, which may be perfectly healthy, are permanently altered to support the bridge. Over 10 years, bridges fail at a rate of approximately 11%, often due to decay under the crowns or fracture of an abutment. An implant, by contrast, is fully independent — no adjacent teeth are involved.

Station House uses Straumann implant systems exclusively. Straumann components are manufactured in Switzerland to ISO standards and carry the strongest body of clinical evidence in the sector — over 40 years of published data across more than 15 million placed implants globally. This is not an arbitrary choice: the quality of the components directly determines long-term outcome.

Your Patient Journey — Dental Implants at Station House

Implant treatment involves more appointments than most cosmetic treatments, but each stage is straightforward. The journey starts with a £40 Smile Consultation where Dr Metias takes a CBCT 3D scan (a low-dose cone beam CT) and maps the bone volume, density and proximity to anatomical structures like nerve canals. A written treatment plan is produced covering all costs including the implant, abutment, crown, and any bone grafting required. Surgery day is a local anaesthetic procedure. Most patients report the experience as less dramatic than anticipated — the pressure and sound of the procedure are present, but pain is well controlled. Post-operative discomfort is typically managed with alternating ibuprofen and paracetamol for 48-72 hours. The osseointegration period of 12-16 weeks requires patience but no discomfort. The abutment and crown appointments complete the restoration, and at that point the implant is in full function — cleaned and maintained exactly like a natural tooth, including flossing around the abutment.

Clinical perspective — Dr Sarah Metias, Principal Dentist

"Dental implants represent the most significant clinical decision a patient makes about tooth replacement, and I treat them with that weight. At Station House we use Straumann components exclusively — not because they are the most expensive option, but because the 10 and 20-year survival data is simply stronger, and I will not place an implant I cannot stand behind long-term. The osseointegration phase of 12 to 16 weeks is not a waiting period — it is the foundation of the entire restoration. I explain to every patient that titanium fusing with living bone is one of the most elegant processes in clinical dentistry, and the patience required is directly rewarded in durability. I have placed implants now approaching 10 years of function in our patients with no issues whatsoever."
