The good news about dental implants is that they can poten
tially last a lifetime with the right home care and routine checkups with your Beaverton dentist.
This excellent longevity makes dental implants popular among patients looking for long-term smile investments. A tooth implant can be a more cost-effective choice than another option you may have to replace in a few years.
Tips For Maintaining Dental Implants in Beaverton
A consistent home care routine consisting of daily brushing and flossing is the first step in proper implant care. Since dental implants are just like natural teeth, you don't have to make any significant changes to your home care routine to maintain your implant.
Visiting Dr. Neish every six months for routine professional teeth cleanings and checkups ensures your dental implant is healthy and properly functioning. He will also take yearly x-rays to ensure there is no internal breakdown of your implant that could be problematic.
Treating your implant like a natural tooth and being careful about biting directly into hard foods will also promote its longevity. Instead, cut hard foods like apples and carrots into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
