Proper Care for Dental

Implants

Dental implants replace the proper form and

function of lost teeth. The implants serve as

artificial tooth roots that continue to stimulate the

jawbone even after tooth loss, preventing the

deterioration of the jawbone structure. Teeth

restorations such as dental crowns or dental bridges,

together with the dental implant system, make the

smile complete once again and restore the normal

appearance & use of the smile.

Implants and the corresponding teeth replacements

take on the functional and cosmetic roles of missing

teeth, making it very important for a person with

implants to take proper care and maintenance of these

missing teeth replacements. It may be easy to

overlook the proper care of implants because they can

be regarded as artificial materials inside the mouth,

but proper implant care is necessary to ensure that the

implant system will be enjoyed for a very long time

without dental problems and complications.

How can implants be taken care of? Given below

are some tips to ensure that the dental implants, the

teeth restorations, and the surrounding tissue

supporting the implant system are kept in optimal

health.

Regular tooth brushing should still be done even

with dental implants and teeth replacements. The

implant system is still susceptible to bacterial

infections and other dental problems if they are not

kept clean. Keeping the teeth healthy by regular and

proper tooth brushing will ensure that there is no

food debris left on the surface of the teeth

replacements and on the gum line. The gums, which

act as supporting structures to the implants and the

teeth restorations, which also benefit from regular

tooth brushing, and will be kept away from gum

problems.

Using dental floss on a regular basis will help

keep the implants healthy underneath the gum

line. Flossing eliminates any leftover food pieces

which have not been removed successfully by

tooth brushing alone. Food particles left along the

gum line can lead to the multiplication of bacteria,

which can harm the gum tissue. Gum problems

which are not treated in their early stages can

cause dental implant failure.

Going to the dentist for regular checkups will

ensure that the implants are kept in the best

condition possible. The dentist will also be able to

detect the earliest signs of dental problems or

bacterial infections which concern the implants, so

that the corresponding treatment can be given

before the situation becomes more complicated and

much more difficult to deal with.
