How to Care for Dental Implants

Good oral care is one of the most important factors affecting the longevity of implants in the mouth. After implant application, it is necessary to pay attention to oral care. To ensure that implants function in the mouth for a long time, as Istanbuldent® dental clinic, we recommend paying attention to the following points.

Regular Tooth Brushing

People who have implants should brush their teeth at least twice a day. Brushing helps prevent the proliferation of microorganisms, thereby protecting against tooth decay and other oral diseases. There are more than 1000 types of bacteria and viruses in the mouth. Studies have shown that electric toothbrushes clean better and take less time. These studies have been confirmed by our 25 years of experience.

Daily Use of Dental Floss

Using dental floss should become a part of our daily oral care routine. Dental floss removes bacterial plaques between the teeth. Similarly, food residues and bacterial plaque between the implant and the tooth will also be removed. A well-maintained and clean mouth does not allow the progression of gum disease. You can get information about using dental floss from your dentist. As Istanbuldent® dental clinic, the use of dental floss is taught to each of our patients whenever they desire.

Regular Dentist Check-ups

It is extremely important to regularly check the dental implants applied to the mouth. Regular dental check-ups will help the dentist monitor the condition of your applied implants. Even if there is a problem, it allows the dentist to coach you on how the problem developed and how to avoid more serious issues. This also helps in becoming aware of any problems and dealing with them.

Regular Teeth Cleaning

Regular teeth cleaning is absolutely necessary for dental and gum health. Make sure your teeth are cleaned by a dentist twice a year during the first year after the implant is placed. Tartar cleaning is of great importance to keep the soft tissues healthy. During teeth cleaning, the dentist’s observations and impressions will give you a clue about how often you should have your teeth cleaned. The period for teeth cleaning may vary for each person. Regular cleaning ensures thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums and prevents the development of gum disease.
