How do you care for All-on-4® implants?

Question

Accepted Answer

Caring for All-on-4 implants in Harris Park can help maintain their longevity, function and appearance. Proper care also may help prevent gum irritation, plaque buildup and other potential complications.

Here are some steps to care for All-on-4 implants:


	Practise daily dental hygiene. &mdash; Brush twice daily and clean around the implant base and along the gumline. We recommend using non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. 
	Regularly floss and clean between your teeth. &mdash; We recommend using specialised floss, interdental brushes or water flossers designed for implants to remove plaque and food particles between the prosthesis and gums.
	Opt for routine dental checks. &mdash; We invite you to book routine exams and cleanings at your Harris Park dentist. Your dentist can monitor the health of the dental implants and professionally clean areas that are difficult to reach at home.
	Avoid damaging habits. &mdash; Please try to avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or pens, which can damage the prosthesis or implant. Limit sticky or extremely hard foods that could compromise the implant-supported teeth.
	Monitor your mouth. &mdash; Please be sure to keep an eye out for unusual redness, swelling or discomfort. Any signs of irritation or changes can be discussed with your dentist to prevent complications.
