Good oral hygiene remains important after implant treatment. Brush and floss regularly, follow your dentist’s care instructions, and maintain routine dental visits so the implant and surrounding tissues can be monitored.
Your dentist may also recommend specific cleaning techniques depending on the type of implant restoration you receive. If you notice unusual discomfort, swelling, changes around the implant, or problems with the restoration, contact your dental office for an evaluation.
If missing teeth are affecting your smile, chewing, or confidence, dentures may be an option worth discussing. Schedule a consultation with Tacoma Dental Hub to learn which restorative solution may be right for you.
