Dental implant maintenance and care: tips for long lasting implants

Why is dental implant maintenance essential?

Dental implants are an effective and durable solution for those who wish to regain the functionality and aesthetics of their smile. However, like any medical device, implants require specific care and attention to ensure their proper functioning over time. Maintenance of dental implants not only helps preserve the investment made, but also ensures optimal oral health, avoiding complications such as infection or implant loss. By following simple daily rules, dental implants can be kept in perfect condition for many years.

How to care for dental implants on a daily basis

Proper oral hygiene is the first step in ensuring the longevity of dental implants. In addition to regular tooth brushing, it is advisable to use an implant-specific toothbrush or an electric toothbrush, which can effectively remove food debris. Daily flossing and antibacterial mouthwashes help prevent plaque buildup around implants. For those wearing dentures attached to implants, it is important to ensure that the entire structure is cleaned carefully to avoid gum irritation or inflammation.

Regular checkups: The secret to lasting implants

In addition to home care, it is essential to have periodic checkups with the dentist, at least twice a year. During these visits, the practitioner can assess the condition of the dental implants, perform a professional cleaning, and identify any problems in the early stages. Periodic x-rays are useful for monitoring the health of the bone in which the implant is placed and making sure there are no signs of rejection or infection. Regular visits are a key element in prolonging the life of dental implants and maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile.

With these simple tips, you can ensure that your dental implants remain functional and aesthetically flawless for a long time. Remember that proper maintenance and regular checkups are critical to preserving your oral health and your smile.

More than positive experience. Arrived on Sunday, immediately a personal driver on hand to get to the apartment courtesy of the clinic with wi-fi... on Monday morning you start treatment right away with the staff making you feel comfortable and comfortable. Once the work is done you return to the apartment a two minute walk away...you can find every primary service all around the apartment, bakery, convenience store, coffee shop, etc...every morning they give you an appointment to continue the work and take an interest in your condition throughout the day. Staff simply smiling and always helpful but most of all competent. A salute to Linda who solves any problem for you. Thank you all and we will see you again soon to continue the care plan. Highly recommended

Second time I come back to you, a serene environment people who treat you not just as a customer a number but a person, a friend. They create a connection with you by accompanying you to this place the "dreaded " dentist trying to make your moment happier. Thanks again especially Linda , a competent professional but at the same time very empathetic person.

I have to be honest, I had a history regarding dental problems, I already had dentures below with pins, but they without any concern and with great mastery did the surgery, I was already complaining but they did two arches below twelve teeth and above fourteen, after a few months I had problems, they invited me to come back, they destroyed the upper prosthesis placed on the canines they devitalized my teeth and rebuilt the prosthesis without asking me anything, I was already complaining that even the molars were giving me pain, they even though they were risking left them for me. After two more three months I called them back, they were hurting me, without thinking twice they called me back and redid all the work above as well as devitalized the remaining molars. I thank them, thank you again more than that they could not do. They tried in every way not to devitalize my teeth, while risking as it happened to redo the work.. again thank you thank you..
