A guide for patients

5 CARE Like with natural teeth, implant restorations also require thorough care. As the implant is firmly anchored in the jaw, the care measures are focused on the transition areas of the gingiva to the crown restoration and the crown restoration itself. Good cleaning and regular check-ups ensure the long-term success of an implant restoration. Gingival inflammation and gingival pockets may occur if implantsupported prostheses are not cleaned from plaque. This could lead to damage of the implants in the long run. Avoid this risk by regular care! Next to daily oral hygiene with a toothbrush and other aids for cleaning interstitial spaces, professional cleaning in the dental practice is the best investment for the durability of your implants. Let your dentist and his practice team give you comprehensive advice on dental care, cleaning aids and their use. Regular check-ups serve to secure the long-term success of your implants and to make sure you are pleased with your implant restoration for a long time. Regular thorough care is essential for the long-term preservation of your implant restoration. 14 | 15
