Caring for Your Dental Implants: A Simple Guide

Keep Your Smile Shining for Years

You got dental implants at Topeka Oral Surgery—congrats on your new and improved smile! Now, let’s see how you can keep them healthy and looking good. Spoiler: it’s easier than you think. Here’s your no-fuss guide to implant care.

The Basics Are Enough

Good news: implants don’t need a fancy routine. Treat them like natural teeth:
  • Brush Twice Daily: Brush your teeth two times a day with a soft brush to keep your implant and gums healthy and clean.
  • Floss Like a Pro: Get between teeth and around the implant to zap plaque.
  • Rinse Optional: A mild mouthwash can freshen things up, but skip the harsh stuff.

Watch the Wear

Implants are tough—titanium tough—but the crowns aren’t invincible. Don’t chew ice or use your teeth to crack nuts, as it can damage them. Think of it as giving your smile a little TLC.

Check-In Time

Go to your dentist every six months for a cleaning and checkup to keep your mouth healthy. We’ll check your implants, clean what you can’t reach, and ensure everything’s solid. It’s like a tune-up for your grin.

Longevity Unlocked

With simple care, your implants can last for many years—maybe even your whole life. One patient told us, “I got mine 15 years ago, and they’re still perfect. Dental implants are great because they’re strong and simple to care for.
