Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime when properly cared for. Just like natural teeth, they require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure their long-term success.
At-home care is essential for maintaining dental implants. We recommend using a Waterpik or similar water flosser to effectively clean around the implants and remove debris from hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, an electric toothbrush, such as a Sonic toothbrush, can help maintain optimal oral hygiene by thoroughly cleaning the surfaces of the implants and surrounding teeth. Antibacterial mouth rinses may also be beneficial in reducing plaque buildup and maintaining healthy gum tissue around the implants.
During your visits, we will provide specific recommendations on how to care for your dental implants based on your individual needs. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are also important to monitor the health of your implants and ensure they remain in excellent condition. By following these guidelines, you can maximize the longevity and functionality of your implants for years to come.
