Implant Care
Crucial to the long term success of your new teeth
As your body heals following surgery, the bone in your jaw will begin to fuse to your implant(s). Once this process, called osseointegration, has taken place, your implants will be fixed and immovable. They will have the appearance, function and strength of natural teeth. Even better, they will never be at risk for decay and can be expected to last a lifetime.
Following placement, periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implants, teeth and gums. As with natural teeth, proper oral hygiene, good eating habits and regular dental visits will help maintain the life of your new implants.
Make sure to:
-
Make routine follow-up visits.
-
Care for your implant-supported teeth by brushing and flossing as you would with your natural teeth.
-
Carefully follow any instructions provided by Dr Longbottom.
