We’re pleased to offer dental implants, including all-on-x dental implants in High Point, NC!
If you have all-on-x or are considering these implant-supported dentures to restore your smile, you likely have questions, including how to clean and care for the fixed prosthetic.
Fortunately, cleaning all-on-x implants is simple.
Cleaning All-on-X Dental Implants: Step-by-Step
- Brush the Prosthetic Teeth and Gums: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and warm water to clean the prosthetic (or a brush recommended by your dentist)
- Floss as Usual: Floss between the implants for fresh breath and less bacteria.
- Water Floss Beneath the Bridge: It’s important to clear debris from beneath your bridge at least once daily.
- Rinse After Eating: Rinse with warm water after meals to clear trapped food particles.
- Mouthwash: Talk to your dentist about an antimicrobial mouthwash for best results.
Remember, the most vital step is to continue seeing your dentist every six months for checkups.
After implant placement, your dentist will provide aftercare instructions, including oral hygiene recommendations. It is best to follow those instructions, customized to your case, to promote long-term oral health and implant maintenance.
