Maintain the Health and Longevity

Dental Implant Maintenance

Dental implant maintenance plays a vital role in keeping your restored smile strong and healthy. Although implants do not decay like natural teeth, the tissues that support them still require regular care. Proper home hygiene and professional cleanings prevent plaque buildup, inflammation, and bone loss, ensuring your implants remain secure, functional, and natural-looking for many years.

Keeping Implants Strong

The Key to Long-Lasting Implants

Dental implants are designed to last for decades, but their long-term success depends on the health of the surrounding gums and bone.


While implants themselves do not develop cavities, plaque and bacteria can still accumulate around them, leading to inflammation or peri-implantitis, a condition similar to gum disease that can cause bone loss and implant failure. Consistent implant maintenance helps to:


  • Prevent infection around the implant
  • Protect gum and bone health
  • Keep implants stable and fully functional
  • Maintain a natural look and feel for years


With regular checkups and proper home care, you can safeguard your investment and enjoy a healthy, confident smile.

Professional Implant Cleanings

Specialized Care for Your Implants

Implants require gentle, specialized cleaning techniques to protect the restoration and surrounding tissues. At our dental clinic, hygienists are trained in advanced implant maintenance using non-abrasive instruments that safely remove plaque without damaging the surface of the implant, crown, or abutment.



During your implant maintenance visit, we will:

  • Check for Plaque or Debris

    Carefully remove buildup around and beneath the implant.

  • Evaluate Gum and Bone Health

    Monitor surrounding tissue to ensure proper support and early detection of inflammation.

  • Look for Early Warning Signs

    Identify potential issues such as swelling, bone loss, or exposed implant threads before they progress.
