How to Maintenance and Longevity of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a transformative solution for replacing missing teeth, offering durability and natural aesthetics. However, their longevity heavily depends on proper care and maintenance. At Royal Dental Care®, we prioritize educating our clients—both local and international—on how to maintain their implants to ensure they remain functional, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing for a lifetime.
Factors Influencing the Longevity of Dental Implants
- Proper Oral Hygiene
- Daily brushing and flossing are critical to preventing plaque buildup around the implants.
- Specialized tools like interdental brushes help clean hard-to-reach areas effectively.
- Routine Dental Check-Ups
- Regular visits ensure ongoing monitoring of the implant and surrounding tissues.
- Professional cleaning prevents conditions like peri-implantitis.
- Healthy Lifestyle Choices
- Avoid smoking, which impairs healing and increases implant failure risks.
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients to support oral health.
- High-Quality Placement
- Implants placed using advanced technologies like 3D CBCT imaging and surgical guides have higher success rates.
- General Health Management
- Conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis can affect healing and require careful monitoring.
Peri-Implant Maintenance at Royal Dental Care®
At Royal Dental Care®, we offer cutting-edge tools and techniques to maintain dental implants, such as:
- Professional Cleaning
- Advanced tools like Air Polishing Systems gently clean around implants without causing damage.
- 3D Imaging for Monitoring
- CBCT scans are regularly conducted to detect changes in bone density or early complications.
- Soft Tissue Care
- We use the Biolase® EPIC® Laser to treat gum inflammation and prevent further issues like peri-implant mucositis.
Tips for Maintaining Dental Implants
- Daily Care
- Brush twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to protect the implant surfaces.
- Avoid Damaging Habits
- Never use your teeth to open packages or chew on hard objects like pens or ice.
- Follow a Healthy Diet
- Limit sugary and acidic foods to maintain overall oral health.
- Quit Smoking
- Smoking significantly reduces blood flow, which can compromise implant stability.
- Report Issues Immediately
- Contact your dentist promptly if you notice discomfort, swelling, or movement around the implant.
