Dental Implants and Check-Ups
While the lifespan of dental implants can be upwards of twenty years, this success is not guaranteed without maintaining optimal oral hygiene and returning for regular dental check-ups.
Some of your check-ups will occur in the middle of the dental implant procedure. The purpose of these check-ups is to ensure the healing process was successful and you’re ready for the next stage of the procedure:
After your dental implant has been successfully placed, you need to brush with non-abrasive toothpaste and floss regularly. Check-ups will still be required every three to four months where you will receive a professional cleaning and the health of your dental implant will be examined.
