Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon (Doug Larson)

Down Syndrome life expectancy has been increasing substantially over time.


When my brother was born, it was 18-20. He is 52 now....

Heart problems still are the no 1 cause of death. However, over the years, many bypass operations and even heart transplants were successfully performed. So if you have a young child with Down Syndrome in 2009, the chance that he/she will out live you is huge.

People often ask me about the life expectancy of dental implants, veneers, bridges and crowns. Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell. If you live like a beast, life may be a feast, but -eventually- even the best tooth replacements will give up on you. If you live like a Saint, but bite on a pebble in your club sandwich, even the best crown will break.

Our dentists, implantologist and dental technicians do their utmost to provide you with the best tooth replacement possible. Please treat them as your children (the tooth replacements, not our staff.)
