Dental implants are a replacement for the root of a tooth that has been extracted. They function as carriers for crowns, bridges or dentures, depending on the condition being treated. Implants, although made of titanium and protected by bone and gingiva, in conditions of poor oral hygiene can begin to lose their support from the surrounding gingiva and bone.
The attitude towards implants and implant-supported prosthetics must be as serious as towards one’s own teeth. Daily cleaning of the teeth and maintenance of prosthetics on implants in a perfect hygienic condition is of essential importance. This allows implants to be a permanent solution to lost teeth.
In our office, we train our patients on the proper implant care routine during therapy. This includes demonstrating proper cleaning techniques and providing the necessary tools and advice for implant maintenance. Regular and proper cleaning of implants is key to their longevity and avoiding problems such as gingivitis or loss of bone support.
The rhythm of professional cleanings and controls should not be less frequent than twice a year, which is the gold standard for proper oral hygiene. Regular visits to the dentist allow early detection of possible problems and their quick resolution, before they lead to more serious complications.
Only comprehensiveness in work can provide long-term results and problem-free implant-supported fabrications. Our goal and past experience show that with proper care, implants can serve long and without problems. This involves a combination of professional care, regular check-ups and disciplined maintenance of oral hygiene by the patient.
Our team at VEGA is dedicated to providing the highest standards in dental care. Using modern materials and techniques, your smile will shine.
