How do you look after the implants?

It is important that you maintain good oral hygiene with your implants to improve their life span. Cleaning your implants is not difficult. For most implant-supported teeth you will be able to clean around each supporting implant by brushing and flossing in just the same way that that you would around natural teeth and tooth-supported bridges. In some areas special floss, interdental toothbrushes and other cleaning aids may be needed to maintain good oral hygiene. The Square Advanced Dental Care will give you a complimentary Implant Maintenance Kit and programme to use and follow.

Cleaning your implants is not difficult

It is reasonable to expect some of the daily hygiene procedures to be a little more complex than around your original teeth and equally expect to spend more time than you may have done in the past if you wish to maintain optimum implant health.

For the first few months the implants are in place, we will ask that you are seen more frequently for hygiene appointments and implant reviews; however, once we are satisfied your treatment is performing as planned, ongoing care will be similar to any patient with natural teeth.
