Dental
Implants offer stability because they fuse
to your bone. Integration of the implants into
your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel
more natural and some people also find the secure
fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes.
- We have just completed the
prosthesis for your oral implants. Such implants
have been placed successfully for over 25 years.
The following information will be interesting and
useful for you relative to future expectations for
your implants and the prosthesis placed on them.
- Acceptance
of dental implants by bone and gum tissue has been
excellent, however a few implants fail. Additionally,
the prosthesis that have been placed over the
implants are subject to wear and/or breakage. Any
of the following conditions that occur require
your immediate attention. Please contact
us if any of the following conditions occur:
>> Feeling
of looseness
>> Peculiar
>> Clicking
or metallic snap while eating
>> Breaking
a piece of the prosthesis
>> Redness
in the gum tissue around the implant
>> Feeling
of the bite being different
>> Pain
- We have done our best to provide
to you the highest quality service available. The
continuing success of the implant and prosthesis is up to you. Please
do the following items checked:
>> Visit
us for examination, scaling, and polishing
at least once every six months.
>> Clean
the implant daily, especially before bedtime
using:
___A. Floss
___B. Bridge
cleaner
___C. Toothbrush
___D. Interplak
mechanical toothbrush
___E. Peridex
- Your failure to accomplish thorough cleaning
of the implant prosthesis daily will compromise
its longevity significantly. We expect
years of service from this therapy. Over
a number of years, you will gradually wear
out the prosthesis portion.
