So now that you have a little more information about dental implants there are a couple more items you should think about as you make decisions on your dental care.
Once you have a dental implant, don’t take it for granted and stop seeing your dentist. We'll make sure that you are protected from risks of gingivitis and keep your oral health strong. Regular dental visits are very important to the long-term success and life of your dental implant. At Smile Design Dentistry Dr. Moore and Dr. Jensen will set you up on a program and guide you on keeping your implant healthy.
Along with regular dental visits home care is vital. You will be advised to brush and keep the area clean. There may also be a special toothbrush or mouth rinse that is recommended to help prevent cavities and gum disease.
Dental implants are not immune to periodontal disease and inflammation, and in some cases the negative impact can be more profound than on natural teeth. That is why it important for good home care and recall dental visits after your implant placement.
