Why Dental Implant Maintenance Is Essential
Dental implants are a durable and reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, but like natural teeth, they require proper care and maintenance to stay in optimal condition. Regular implant maintenance ensures that your implants remain secure, functional, and free from complications like infection or implant failure.

We offer comprehensive implant maintenance services to help you protect your investment and keep your smile healthy. Our team specializes in maintaining implants through professional cleanings, exams, and assessments to detect potential issues early and ensure your implants last a lifetime.

What Is Implant Maintenance?
Implant maintenance involves a combination of regular at-home care and professional cleanings and exams. While dental implants are not susceptible to cavities, the gum tissue and bone surrounding the implant still need careful attention. Plaque buildup can lead to peri-implantitis, a condition similar to gum disease that can compromise the implant if left untreated.

Our implant maintenance services include:

• Professional Cleanings: Using specialized tools, we thoroughly clean around the implant, removing plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to inflammation and infection.

• Routine Examinations: We regularly assess the stability of your implant, checking for any signs of bone loss, gum recession, or complications that may affect the long-term health of your implant.

• Patient Education: We provide guidance on the best at-home care practices to ensure you’re cleaning around your implants effectively and maintaining excellent oral hygiene.

When Is Implant Repair Necessary?
While dental implants are designed to be strong and long-lasting, issues can sometimes arise that require implant repair. Problems like loose implants, damaged crowns or bridges, or signs of infection around the implant site can compromise the function and appearance of your implant. Our skilled team specializes in diagnosing and addressing these issues promptly to prevent further complications.

Common reasons for implant repair include:

• Loose Implants: If an implant becomes loose due to bone loss or improper integration with the jawbone, we can assess the situation and recommend the best course of action, which may include bone grafting or replacing the implant.

• Damaged Crowns or Bridges: The crowns or bridges attached to your implants may become chipped, cracked, or worn over time. We offer repair or replacement options to restore their appearance and functionality.

• Peri-Implantitis Treatment: If infection or inflammation occurs around the implant, we can treat the area to prevent further bone or gum loss and protect the implant from failure.

Benefits of Regular Implant Maintenance and Repair

• Prolong the Life of Your Implants: Regular maintenance helps detect potential issues early and keeps your implants in excellent condition, ensuring they last for many years.

• Prevent Complications: Professional cleanings and examinations help prevent peri-implantitis and other problems that can jeopardize the health of your implants.

• Maintain Aesthetic and Functionality: Repairing damaged crowns or addressing loose implants ensures that your smile looks great and functions properly.

• Protect Overall Oral Health: Proper implant care not only benefits the implants but also promotes the health of your gums, bone, and surrounding teeth.
