Implants need daily care
While an implant cannot get a cavity, the gums and bone around it can become inflamed. Brushing, cleaning between teeth, and using the tools recommended by your dental team are essential.
✓
What happens at maintenance visits
Your dental team checks gum health, measures around the implant when appropriate, evaluates your bite, and removes deposits using implant-safe instruments.
✓
A schedule built for you
Some patients benefit from more frequent maintenance based on gum history, cleaning needs, and overall risk. Your dentist or hygienist can recommend the interval that fits your care.
