Care & Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and functionality of your dental implants. Here’s how to keep your implants in optimal condition:

Daily Oral Hygiene

• Brushing: Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove plaque and prevent gum disease.
• Flossing: Floss daily around the implant and natural teeth to eliminate food particles and plaque buildup.
• Mouthwash: Use an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce bacteria and maintain healthy gums.

Regular Dental Check-Ups

• Routine Exams: Visit us for regular dental examinations and professional cleanings to monitor the health of your implants and surrounding tissues.
• Professional Cleanings: Our hygienists will clean around the implant area to prevent plaque accumulation and ensure the integrity of your restoration.

Avoid Harmful Habits

• Smoking: Refrain from smoking, as it can impair healing and increase the risk of implant failure.
• Avoid Excessive Alcohol: Limit alcohol consumption, as excessive intake can affect oral health and implant stability.
• Chewing Hard Objects: Avoid chewing on hard items like ice, pens, or fingernails, which can damage your implants and restorations.

Balanced Diet

• Nutrition: Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support overall oral and bone health.
• Avoid Sugary Foods: Limit the intake of sugary and acidic foods and beverages that can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.

Use of Retainers

If your dental implants are part of an orthodontic treatment, wearing retainers as prescribed can help maintain the alignment of your teeth and implants.
