Dental implant maintenance

Dental implant maintenance involves regular care to keep your implant and surrounding tissues healthy. This includes brushing twice daily, flossing or using interdental brushes to clean between teeth and around the implant, and visiting your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups. Proper maintenance prevents infections, reduces the risk of implant failure, and ensures your implant remains functional and comfortable for years. Avoiding tobacco, limiting sugary foods, and promptly addressing any discomfort also support long-term success. Consistent hygiene and professional oversight are key to preserving your dental implant’s health and longevity.
