Dental implant maintenance
Dental implants can last a lifetime if you care for them properly.
Dental implant maintenance
Permanent replacements for your missing teeth
Dental implants are permanent replacements for your missing teeth and are often considered the ideal tooth replacement option, as they work to replace the entire tooth instead of only the crown or crowns of your teeth. They are designed to look, feel and function exactly like your original teeth, including performing the same functions as your tooth roots to stimulate your supporting bone tissue to keep it healthy and ensure that your teeth remain stable in your mouth.
While dental implants are designed to last for a lifetime, they cannot do so unless they receive the same kind of care that your natural teeth would receive. This means maintaining good oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing as well as receiving regular preventive care from a dental professional to keep your teeth and mouth free from plaque, tartar and disease-causing bacteria.
Continued maintenance
During your dental exams, our dentists will examine your mouth to check for signs of developing problems and ensure that your implants are functioning properly. X-rays will be taken as needed to examine your supporting oral structures. Depending on the findings of your exam and your individual needs, we may recommend additional treatments or oral hygiene aids.
We strongly recommend that you visit the dentist every six months to receive routine preventive care. Emergency dental care is also available if you experience pain, injury or another problem.
