Implants: a lifelong hold for new teeth
Regular oral hygiene and thorough care are the prerequisite for being able to enjoy implants for a long time. Anyone who opts for implants should therefore also be prepared to follow a conscientious implant prophylaxis routine.
Pre-implant hygiene
Our pre-implant hygiene concept includes the removal of tartar and plaque as well as the cleaning of the tooth surfaces and the gum pockets. In this way we help to prevent new plaque from forming and stop harmful bacteria from settling that could jeopardise the healing process of the implants.
Implant care
Like natural teeth, implant restorations also need care. Since the implant is firmly anchored in the jaw, the care measures concentrate on the transition areas from the gum to the denture and on the denture itself. Good cleaning and regular check-ups support long-term success.
Bacteria multiply in dental deposits and can lead to inflammation - a risk for a healed implant. In addition to daily care at home, professional cleaning at the practice is therefore necessary. We recommend check-ups with professional implant and tooth cleaning every three to six months.
The key facts at a glance
- Implants need care just like natural teeth - especially at the transitions from the gum to the denture.
- Before the implant is placed, a pre-implant hygiene concept removes tartar, plaque and deposits in the gum pockets.
- Bacteria in dental deposits can trigger inflammation that can also endanger a healed implant.
- Check-ups with professional implant and tooth cleaning are recommended every three to six months.
- Regular aftercare is at the same time a condition for the practice's implant guarantee.
