Now that your implants have seamlessly integrated with your jawbone, it's crucial to prioritize proper care to maintain their longevity and functionality. Here's a brief guide on how to care for your dental implant-supported teeth:

Routine Dental Hygiene: Treat your implants like natural teeth by adhering to a regular oral hygiene routine. Brush at least twice daily. Don't forget to floss between your implants and natural teeth to remove plaque and debris.

Biannual Dental Visits: Schedule check-ups with your dentist every six months. These routine visits allow your dentist to assess the health of your implants, gums, and surrounding teeth. While adjustments or tightening may occasionally be necessary, it's not a frequent occurrence.

Mindful Eating Habits: Enjoy your favorite foods with confidence, knowing that your dental implants can withstand normal chewing forces. However, it's wise to avoid very hard or sticky foods that may exert excessive pressure on your implants and surrounding structures.

By incorporating these simple yet essential practices into your daily routine, you'll ensure the longevity and success of your dental implant-supported teeth. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, you can continue to smile, eat, and live confidently for years to come.
