Dental Implant Survival: What the Evidence Shows

Implant outcomes depend on the patient, site, treatment design, maintenance, and follow-up period.

Medically reviewed by Dr. José Moguel · Last reviewed: September 1, 2026

A 2019 systematic review estimated 10-year implant survival at 96.4%, with a prediction interval ranging from 91.5% to 99.4%. That research describes groups of patients; it does not guarantee an individual result or establish a clinic-specific success rate.

Why we do not publish an unsupported clinic percentage

A credible clinic-specific rate requires a defined patient group, date range, definition of success, follow-up duration, and treatment of patients lost to follow-up. Until that methodology is documented, this website will not publish a clinic-specific percentage.

Factors that influence outcomes

  • Bone quality and implant position
  • Smoking and healing capacity
  • History of periodontal disease and plaque control
  • Diabetes and other health conditions
  • Bite forces, prosthetic design, and maintenance
  • Regular examinations and professional hygiene
