Ongoing Hygiene and Support for Long-Term Implant Success
Proper care and regular follow-up are essential to keeping your dental implants healthy and functional for years to come.
Supporting Implant Health Through Daily Care
Dental implants can last many years when properly maintained. Like natural teeth, they require daily cleaning and professional monitoring to prevent issues like peri-implantitis (gum inflammation around an implant) or bone loss.
Our team provides clear guidance after surgery to help you care for your implants as they heal—and beyond.
Post-Surgical Implant Care Instructions
After your procedure, we’ll provide specific instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. These typically include:
- Brushing gently with a soft toothbrush
- Rinsing with saltwater or recommended solutions
- Avoiding hard or sticky foods while healing
- Monitoring for signs of discomfort or infection
You’ll also be scheduled for follow-up visits to ensure your implant is healing as expected.
Keeping Implants Clean and Stable Over Time
Once healed, implants should be cared for with the same attention as natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily and floss or use interdental brushes
- Attend regular cleanings and checkups with your general dentist
- Notify your provider if you notice bleeding, discomfort, or changes in fit
We’ll communicate closely with your general dentist to support your ongoing care plan.
