Caring for Dental Implants
Will Implants Last A Lifetime?
Every implant is placed with the expectation it will endure for the patient's life. With today's implant technology a lifetime result is achievable.
What Dental Care Should I Provide At Home?
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 should brush after every meal.
Special cleaning tips:
- A small tooth brush or special interdental brush can be used to clean the abutments.
- Use a brush with a bent handle to reach behind your teeth to clean the abutments.
- Use gauze or special floss with a foam coating to clean around your gums, abutments and prosthetic teeth.
