With proper care, dental implants can endure for numerous decades. We rely on the Straumann dental implant system, renowned for its longevity, often lasting a lifetime and delivering exceptional outcomes for our patients.

For the majority of dental implant-supported teeth, you can clean around each supporting implant by brushing and flossing, just as you would around your natural teeth. In certain areas, we might suggest using floss, interdental toothbrushes, and other cleaning aids to maintain optimal oral hygiene. During the initial months after the implants are placed, your dentist might schedule more frequent check-ups. Once your dentist confirms that your treatment is progressing well, your ongoing care will resemble that of patients with natural teeth.

Bone grafting is a surgical procedure involving the transplantation of bone to repair or reconstruct bones that are diseased or damaged. If necessary, we will provide you with detailed information about this procedure during your initial appointment.

The crucial step is the first consultation, during which the specialist will ask about your dental and medical history. This helps assess whether dental implants are suitable for you.

If your overall health is good, dental implants are probably a suitable choice for replacing your missing teeth. However, habits like heavy drinking and smoking can affect the initial healing period and harm the long-term health of the gums and bone around each implant.
