At Topeka Oral Surgery, we know how important it is to take care of your dental implants. Whether you have Implant Supported Overdentures or single Restorative Implants, a good care routine is key to keeping them working well for a long time.
Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for the success of your implants. These visits let your dentist check the health of your implants, gums, and nearby teeth.
Healthy gums are vital for successful dental implants. Regular periodontal treatments can help prevent gum disease, which is a common cause of implant failure. Keeping your gums healthy supports your implants. Although you cannot get a cavity on a dental implant you can develop gum disease.
If you grind your teeth, consider getting a night guard to protect your implants. Grinding can put too much pressure on them, causing damage. Your dentist might also suggest treatments to help with grinding.
