How long do implants last?

Since September, I've been experiencing a tingling pain in my teeth whenever I drink cold water. At first, it only happened on the left side, but then it spread to the right. And it's not just cold water, but also hot water and food. It also hurts when I brush my teeth with tap water if it's not lukewarm. Even with my mouth open, my teeth feel sensitive even when exposed to cold air, so I visited a dentist to inquire about root canal treatment.

 

He said it was okay and filled the space between my gums with a reinforcing agent and that was it.

But it was still the same, so I went to another dental clinic, and they didn't say anything, just told me not to floss too often, did some scaling, and told me to wait and see.

 

How long do implants last?

 

I asked about my right tooth because it has an implant, but in reality, the implant's nerve is already dead, so there can't be any pain, and they only said that I should suspect the molars (1) on either side of the implant or the prosthetic tooth (4) in front. But in reality, it seems like numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all painful. When you blew air and flushed the teeth to check...

 

 

Around mid-January, the symptoms disappeared for exactly two weeks, but then the numbness and tingling started again. I'm thinking of going to the dentist, but I'm wondering if implants also have a lifespan.

My current implant is about 10 years old, so I'm wondering if there could be a problem (I was told it was well maintained until last year...) and if it would be appropriate to perform root canal treatment 1.4 for these symptoms! I'd appreciate the opinions of those who specialize in dentistry!

    임플란트 수명은 보통 10년까지라고 하고 정말 장 관리한다면 더 길게도 유지한다고 합니다. 현재 딱 10년째니 바꿀때가 되긴하셨네요. 임플란트 교체 시기 치과가서 상담 받아보세요

    말해뭐해
    개인 관리에 따라 다르지만 보통 10년 이상 사용 가능해요. 
    정기적인 치과 검진과 꼼꼼한 양치질이 수명을 늘리는 핵심입니다.

    저도 임플란트 한지 10년 넘었네요 
    양치 할때도 특별히 임플란트 했던 부위는 더 열심히 양치하구요
    임플란트란게 본인이 관리하기 나름같아요

    임플란트가 영구적이진 않다고 하더라고요. 개인 관리에 따라 다르겠지만 10년 이상 사용 가능한 거 같아요. 관리를 잘해줘야 한다고 하더라고요.
