Like all cosmetic dentistry treatments, the results and longevity of your treatment are dependent on two people: you and your dentist.
We always promise to do the best on our part, but poor care will lead to damaged teeth, no matter how good of a job your dentist does.
If you want your implants to last a long time, there are some basic housekeeping rules you need to follow.
The most important thing to consider is dental hygiene.
You can achieve the extra help of a hygienist, but most of this comes down to the correct brushing, flossing at home, and avoiding foods which could be harmful to your teeth or implants.
For optimum dental implant maintenance, you must be committed not only to thorough cleaning at home but also to regular check-ups with your dentist.
You should meet with your dentist or hygiene therapist every 3 – 6 months for a professional exam and cleaning, however, your dentist will advise you if your situation is different.
Additionally, you should return to your dentist for an annual check-up where we may carry out an x-ray if necessary to make sure everything is working as it should be.
Implants are a highly effective cosmetic dental procedure (despite the effort needed on your part to keep them clean).
If you want your implants to last a long time, the way you care for them is a vital factor in their success.
We offer free consultation meetings where you can discuss any of your concerns and we can help work out a solution that is best for you.
