How To Properly Care For Your Dental Implants
Many people suffer from missing teeth it’s not as uncommon as some would think. Previously, dentures were the very best possible solution for patients who were suffering from missing teeth, but now thanks to advancements with restorative dentistry there are options when it comes to replacing or restoring missing teeth. Also, one of the main issues with dentures is that it does not work to preserve the bone in the patient’s mouth that once supported the now missing teeth. This means that overtime the patient will experience bone deterioration and a restructuring of their jaw due to this bone loss. Dental Implants have emerged as an alternative to dentures and they work well to promote the regeneration of bone in the patient’s mouth. With this being said while dental implants are a great solution for missing teeth they need to be cared for properly. With the proper maintenance and care dental implants can last a lifetime.

At-Home Care

Doing so would include brushing and flossing the proper amounts of time a day. This would mean brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing at least twice a day.
