DENTAL IMPLANT MAINTENANCE
Keep Your Implants Strong, Clean, and Long-Lasting
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution, but like natural teeth, they require regular care to stay healthy and functional. At Dr. Saima Shora Dentistry, we offer comprehensive dental implant maintenance to help preserve your investment and ensure your smile stays in excellent condition for years to come. Routine checkups, cleanings, and proper at-home care are essential for preventing complications such as gum inflammation, bone loss, or implant failure. Our team provides the education and support you need to maintain the health of your implant and surrounding tissues.
Routine Care for Lasting Results
Protect the Health of Your Implant and Gums
During your maintenance appointments, we evaluate your implant site for any signs of irritation, plaque buildup, or changes in the surrounding bone. Even though implants cannot get cavities, the gum tissue around them can still develop periodontal issues if not cleaned properly.
We use specialized tools to gently clean around your implant and assess the fit of your restoration. These visits are typically scheduled every 3 to 6 months, depending on your oral health and medical history.
How to Care for Your Implant at Home
Daily Habits That Make a Big Difference
Good at-home care is key to protecting your dental implant. Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush, flossing with implant-safe floss or interdental brushes, and using an antibacterial rinse can help reduce the risk of infection.
We also recommend avoiding habits that can damage your restoration, such as chewing ice or grinding your teeth. If you have a nightguard, wear it as instructed. Our team is always here to offer personalized tips based on your oral hygiene routine and implant type.
Protect Your Investment with Regular Care
Dental implants are one of the most effective ways to replace missing teeth, and with proper maintenance, they can last for decades. At Dr. Saima Shora Dentistry, we are committed to helping you keep your implants stable, clean, and comfortable.
