Installing a few implants will not immediately solve common dental problems you may have with your other teeth in the future, therefore proper hygiene is crucial.
With some patients, undergoing complicated treatments before they can have implants installed might be necessary. For example, those with an uneven bite will have to straighten their teeth with metal braces. Also, patients with gum disease (e.g. mild gingivitis) will be asked to fix gum tissue with proper oral hygiene, soft toothbrushes, mouth rinsing, flossing and regular checkups at the dentist.
