I have patients that have their implants in for 30 years. It’s not unreasonable to expect them to last for at least 20 years.
Clinically speaking it should last you as long as the rest of your teeth last you. it depends how it is placed by your dentist and how you care for it.
Most people will keep an implant for life.
There is no easy answer to this.  The short answer is longer than a bridge, but it depends on many factors.  These include your medical history such as smoker, diabetes etc.  It also has to do with your compliance in maintaining the implant.
Most implants should last a lifetime The brand we use is warranted a lifetime by the manufacturer.
Done properly, FOREVER
A properly placed and maintained dental implant should last a lifetime.
