Oral Hygiene is Important, Even With Implants

August 14, 2014

Your oral health routine is incredibly important to the health of your entire mouth. Brushing and flossing keep your teeth and gums healthy and protected from decay and infection. Just because you have replaced your teeth with dental implants does not mean that this routine is over! Oral hygiene is still incredibly important for our One Day Smile Solution patients as well as patients with dentures and mini implants! Even though your teeth are not natural, they can still get damaged!

Brushing
Brushing your teeth doesn’t go away, no matter what you do to restore your teeth! Even dentures need to be removed and brushed once a day, and you should still brush your gums twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Your dental implants need to be brushed as well to remove food particles and bacteria that can cause gum disease and bad breath!

Flossing
Just like with your natural teeth, your dental implants will collect bacteria and food particles between your teeth. It is important that you remove this debris in order to maintain your overall healthy mouth!

Dental Cleanings
Dental implant patients need to have their routine dental cleaning about once a year instead of every six months. Be sure your dentist is prepared to clean around dental implants using plastic or titanium tools to protect the implants from damage. Denture wearers should also check in with their dentist regularly to make adjustments to their dentures and check the health of their gums.

Here’s the nutshell: No matter what happens to your teeth, you will always need to maintain checkups with your dentist! We check more than just teeth! Be sure to make time for your dental appointment, and maintain a routine visit schedule according to your dental needs. Contact us today to set up an appointment, and find out more about how you can care for your mouth’s unique needs!

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.

I recently had implants put in by Dr. Receveur. I was scheduled to have sedation that morning, but wasn't able to due to my sugar issues from diabetes. He assured me he would keep me comfortable so I agreed to go ahead with the procedure. He did just that, he kept me comfortable as promised and I didn't feel a thing. During the procedure he also talked to me the whole time explaining what he was doing, which also helped ease my anxiety. The entire staff there are so nice and informative, they can answer any questions you may have. All I can say is to anyone that is hesitant to have this procedure done, I honestly wish I would have had this done a long time ago! Dr. Receveur and his staff are AMAZING, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
