Victoria Street Dental Advise on Maintenance & After Care Of Dental Implants

Dental implants require constant maintenance and monitoring, which further involves assessment of the patient's general and oral health, professional implant maintenance, and diligent patient home care as critical factors that will ensure the long-term success of implants and a predictable replacement for natural teeth. Victoria Street Dental advise that a comprehensive maintenance protocol should be followed to ensure the longevity of the implant.

Twice daily cleaning of implants to remove bacterial plaque accumulations should be accomplished using a soft toothbrush, with a high standard of home care by brushing and flossing. People should also have regular check ups and cleans.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone beneath your gum to replicate the root of the missing tooth. Once the implant has integrated and healed it can then provide a strong foundation for a dental crown to be placed onto the dental implant to mimic the missing tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or even a whole arch of teeth.

There are many advantages to dental implants, including improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth, and are designed to fuse with the bone so they are a permanent solution that does not require removal. Other advantages include improved speech and easier eating. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat with stability and confidence. You will also have improved self-esteem, as dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.

Implants are very durable and will generally last many years providing that you take good care of them. Patients should have healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant, and they also must be committed to a lifelong of good oral hygiene which includes good home care routine and regular dental visits, so for more information on and teeth grinding mouth guards please visit the website at http://www.victoriastreetdental.co.nz .
