A Long-Term Investment in Quality of Life

Oral hygiene is a prerequisite for being able to enjoy the benefits of implant-supported teeth for a long time. Like natural teeth, implants also need consistent care to remain healthy in the long term.

Regular prevention is the foundation for the long-term preservation of an implant: an implant needs the cleanest and most bacteria-free environment possible, since bacterial inflammation endangers the success of the treatment.

High-quality implant solutions must be kept healthy as part of a sustainable prevention concept. Regular check-ups with professional implant and dental cleaning at intervals of three to six months are urgently recommended for this purpose.

During implant prophylaxis, we remove deposits, bacterial colonization (plaque), and pathogenic biofilm from areas that are difficult for you to reach. Particularly gentle interdental cleaning is important here, in which the surfaces of implants and abutments are not scratched or damaged.

Key Points at a Glance

  • Like natural teeth, implants require consistent care at home and professionally.
  • Regular check-up appointments with professional cleaning at intervals of three to six months are recommended.
  • Bacterial deposits and biofilm are removed gently, without damaging the implant surface.
