Osseointegration: A successful dental implant is considered to be osseointegrated. This means that the implant is solid and strong within the jawbone and strong enough to hold a crown, bridge or dentures. A successful dental implant should have healthy gum tissues around it that are comfortable to eat and brush without bleeding. There should be no discomfort in a successful dental implant.

One more criteria: All of my esteemed colleagues gave you some great criteria. I would just like to add that the restorations that anchor to the dental implants must also be precise and stand the test of time regarding periodontal health, function and stability.

Comfort: If the implants are successful, then there will be no feeling when twisting pressure is applied. Also, the tissue around them will be normal in texture and color, and will be without bleeding (as long as you are keeping the area clean ). The x-rays will show solid bone contact and density along the entire implant.

Few signs nowadays..: For many years, implant stability and lack of pain or other negative symptoms were the only criteria of success for dental implants. Nowadays, proper functional and anatomical stability , along with optimal and long term esthetics are also part of the criteria for success .
