Caring for teeth that have been restored with dental implants is extremely important to keep them from failing. Our doctors at Vista Dental are happy to provide you with instructions on how to properly brush, floss, and maintain regular dental cleanings and check-ups as required. We’d like to assist you best we can to help you ensure the longevity of your dental implant.
A dental implant consists of three parts, the implant itself, the abutment, – usually made of titanium, gold, or porcelain – and the restoration, - the part of the implant that looks like a tooth. Dental implants should be cared for like natural teeth. It’s important to practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing once daily. Avoiding chewing on hard foods to prevent fractures and quit smoking if possible because smoking can weaken the bone structure around the implant, causing it to fail.
If you have questions regarding oral care habits, please give us a call. To learn about services we provide at the practice, visit www.vistadentalmh.ca for more information.
