Diet and Dental Implant care<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You\u2019ve probably heard the saying that you are what you eat. The same goes for your teeth as well as your dental implant! Therefore, it is important to maintain a healthy diet in order to promote dental health<\/a> and retain the full functionality of implants. As the only permanent option, implants are an excellent choice for tooth replacement. Additionally, dental implants don’t require extensive maintenance.<\/p>\r\n

Unlike false teeth like dentures, which involve special care and cleaning routines, dental implants only need brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Monthly professional cleaning<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Professional cleaning is important for all dental health but especially for those with dental implants. Dental cleanings remove plaque and bacteria buildup around the implant, which can lead to infection. Some dentists will have you come in for a professional cleaning every three months, while others will recommend cleaning every six months.<\/p>\r\n

Dental implants are more susceptible to infections than natural teeth, so it\u2019s very important to keep the area around them clean to promote the best results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dental implant maintenance<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Implant maintenance will vary depending on your dentist and the type of implant used to replace your teeth. There are two main types of implants: fixed and removable. Fixed implants are directly attached to the bone in your jaw and are not removable. The implant will be left in your jaw indefinitely and will occasionally need to be brushed and cleaned. Removable implants are attached to the bone via a screw.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
