What to Know

Upkeep

It's critical to keep the region around your dental implant restoration clean and clear of infection once it's been finished. Just like teeth, dental implants can develop plaque and tartar. A professional cleaning program will be required to maintain them, whether you have just one tooth replaced by an implant or several. Some other things to focus on include:

  • Routine maintenance care at home and at the dental office is essential.
  • Inflammation of the surrounding tissues is commonly caused by excessive biting forces on the implant or bacterial infection. If you notice this, see the dentist.
  • If left untreated, peri-implantitis can lead to the loss of an implant.

Site Development

It's not uncommon to lose bone surrounding an affected tooth when it's time to remove it because it's diseased. To make it easier to place a dental implant at a later date, various types of bone grafting can be done at the same time the tooth is removed.
