Implant Care and Maintenance
Implants are similar to natural teeth in that they need to be brushed, flossed and even cleaned at your regular hygiene visits to stay healthy. While implants do not get cavities, they can develop periodontal disease from lack of proper oral hygiene. Our goal at Dental Sedation and Implant Center is to set your implant up for success and provide you with the right tools and techniques to keep them clean.
A recommended daily routine consists of brushing and flossing, with possibly an oral rinse as well. Proxybrushes can be used to clean in between difficult contacts. Super-floss and floss threaders will allow you to clean under an implant bridge. An additional tool we often recommend is a Waterpik, which can be a very useful way to irrigate area of food entrapment or difficult to reach areas.

Dr. Erik Winn and the team at Dental Sedation and Implant Center will help you customize a routine that can easily be performed daily to keep your teeth, gums and implants healthy. A regular hygiene maintenance schedule at the dental office is also a key part of your implants health. Working alongside your general dentist and hygienist, we will be there to every step of the way to keep your implant functioning over a lifetime.
