How To Care For Your Implants During Treatment

Restoring a gap with a dental implant is the nearest thing we have to replacing a natural tooth. Implant treatment provides you with artificial tooth root and functioning artificial tooth.

Where there was once an unsightly space you now have a functioning tooth that matches the rest of your smile, nobody except you would know you’d had treatment!

Implants are a fantastic treatment option for many patients looking to return function and form to their smile.

Caring for your implants during treatment

You’ve invested in your gorgeous new smile, and now it’s time to look after your investment!

First of all, you need to attend the practice regularly for health checks and clean and polish appointments.

You also need to look after your teeth at home and as you’ll know, implant treatment takes time. We have to wait for your new implant(s) to integrate with your existing bone and that can take 3 to 9 months.

How to keep good hygiene to maintain your implants

When you had your implant placed you will have received a Curaprox pack to help maintain your oral hygiene at home. Plus, your dentist will have explained the pack contents and showed you how to use them.

Keep using your Curaprox products throughout your treatment and get in touch with us if you have any questions or concerns. We’re always happy to help.

Think about using a water flosser

Water flossing is a fantastic addition to your home oral health routine. We recommend Water Pik water flossers and have found they reduce staining and improve oral health.

💡Water flossing can be messy – try a cordless flosser and water floss in the shower!
