How do I keep my new implants clean?

Monday, August 24th, 2009

“I’ve just finished all my treatment and am so pleased with the results, I want to make sure I look after my new smile more than I did my old, but how do I clean round the implant teeth?”

Throughout treatment we arrange hygienest visits and once you have finished we still insist you attend regularly to maintain your hygiene and the health of your mouth. The hygienest will go through intructions with you on how best to clean, particularly round implants/bridgework where methods might be slightly new to you.

There are many things additonal to your usual brushing. We may suggest a particualar toothpaste and/or mouthrinse. Cleaning interporximally (inbetween the teeth) may need floss, superfloss and/or tepe brushes. Your hygienist will be able to advise what you need and show you exactly how.

“Over the years I’ve got had to lose some teeth. Now I’ve got missing teeth, i want to improve how things look and be able to eat foods I currently avoid. Is there anything you can do for me?”

Yes! With implants, bridges and even dentures there’s always something we can do. Replacing missing teeth is something we do everyday for many patients. We need to have a thorough consultation with you so we can determine exactly what the right solution is for you personally. One size doesn’t fit all! But all our solutions combine making things look good with functionally getting things right.
