Implant Cleaning

Bacterial plaque and calculus accumulate on implants, just as they do on natural teeth. If implants are left without regular cleaning and maintenance, such bacterial deposits may lead to inflammation, peri-implantitis and implant loss. Implants are an expensive investment for the patient. Their maintenance requires special attention from the dentist.

With professional maintenance and proper home care, implants can last for a lifetime. Poor oral hygiene around dental implants may contribute to serious diseases in the issues surrounding the implants. Proper cleaning and maintenance may contribute to prevent problems such as peri-implantitis, a condition which affects the bone surrounding the implants.
