Do Implants need special care?

Once the implants are in place, they will serve you well for many years if you take care of them and keep your mouth healthy. This means taking the time for good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) and keeping regular appointments with your dental specialists.

Caring for your Implants

Your implants can serve you for years if you keep your mouth healthy and take care of your implants. Just like your natural teeth, you shoud brush after every meal.

Special clearning aids.

A small tooth brush or special interdental brush can be used to clean the abutments.

Tips for brushing your teeth

Removable Prosthesis
After removing, brush the inside and outside, brush around the gums and abutments and floss the abutments.

Fixed Prosthesis
Brush your fixed prosthetic teeth as thoroughly as you would your own teeth, reach the brush behind the teeth to brush the back of the abutments and floss around the abutments from front, sides and behind.

Routine Check-Ups
At least twice a year you must have your prosthesis checked to see how well it fits in your mouth, make any repairs and clean the abutments. And the same time the stability of the anchors and the health of your gums and jaw will be checked.
