Most of the regular denture wearers can relate to the issues of their dentures not staying in one place, slipping, inability to properly chew the food you love and ineffectiveness of denture adhesives. Implant retained over dentures can help stabilize, as they are more efficient and have long term durability.

Few of the types of implant supported overdentures: • Removable or snap in implant overdentures • Fixed or screw in implant overdentures • Implant supported overdentures – here the dental implants and your jaw bone will absorb most of the force and allow you to get a more natural bite, so it requires more number of implants. • Implant retained overdentures – in this type of overden

Hygiene for dental implants

Image
Although implants themselves can’t decay, you must  #clean  the  #bone  and  #gums   #surrounding  it so as to properly maintain your overall oral health and to  #increase  the  #lifespan  of dental implant. Avoid smoking, Use  #non -abrasive toothpastes &  #mouthwash , avoid  #formulas  with stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride,  #baking   #soda , stain removers &  #smoker ’s toothpaste. Brush implant twice daily with soft toothbrush, it can be  #manual ,  #electric ,  #sonic ,  #sulcabrush  or end  #tuft  brush. Use nylon coated  #proxa -brushes or  #interdental  brushes to clean hard to reach areas surrounding implants. You can also use  #soft  picks and  #rubber  tip stimulators. #Metal  picks which are available over the counter should be  #avoided  as they can  #scratch  implant surface & create area for  #bacterialcolonization . When it comes to  #flossing  use  #un -waxed tape/implant specific  #floss  or select a type that will not  #shred  or leave  #partic
