Why maintenance matters

Plaque can collect around implant restorations and lead to inflammation. Early detection of problems helps protect the supporting tissues.

Finding the right tools

Your dental team may recommend interdental brushes, specialist floss or other techniques suited to the shape of your implant crown, bridge or full-arch restoration.

Practical steps to remember

  • Clean implant restorations every day
  • Use clinician-recommended interdental aids
  • Keep implant maintenance appointments
