Hygiene & Long Term Success

Adequate oral hygiene should be established prior to implant therapy and must be maintained to ensure the long term health of dental implants. Like natural teeth, implants can fail when hygiene is poor, and plaque is allowed to accumulate. Many special brushes, flosses and rinses are available to help you maintain your implant restoration. You should discuss the appropriate tools and their proper use with your dental professional. Regular visits to your dentist are just as important to the continuing health of your implants. In addition to professional cleanings, your dentist will assess the success of your home care and the health of your dental implants.
