Do dental implants require extensive maintenance?
Yes. In fact, dental implants require a bit more than just simple flossing and brushing like regular teeth do. Because dental implants required surgery to be implanted in a patient’s mouth, there is a much greater risk of infection underneath the gum line. Because of this risk, a person with dental implants should go to their dental implant specialist for regular check ups to make sure that the area around their implants is healing properly and that no infection has taken root there.

If it does not, please make an appointment with your surgeon.
