We want to emphasise the importance of routine maintenance and care to keep your implants in excellent condition for years to come.
Just as natural teeth require ongoing care, dental implants benefit significantly from regular review appointments. These appointments allow us to monitor the health of your implants, surrounding gum tissue, and bone structure. Early detection and intervention can prevent potential issues such as peri-implant disease, a condition that can compromise the stability and health of your implants.
Professional Hygiene Maintenance: A Vital Step
In addition to regular check-ups, attending appointments with a dental hygienist is essential. A professional cleaning goes beyond what can be achieved with at-home care, effectively removing plaque and tartar build-up around the implant area. This helps protect against inflammation and infection, both of which can lead to complications if not addressed.
Homecare: Your First Line of Defence
A consistent routine at home is equally important. Brushing and flossing diligently each day, along with using any recommended interdental brushes or tools, will help keep the tissue around your implants healthy.
We encourage you to reach out to our team if you would like any tips on the best products or techniques for implant care. By staying proactive and prioritizing both professional and at-home care, you are investing in the longevity and success of your dental implants.
