After-care
Caring for your fixed, full-arch prosthesis
What to expect with your new teeth, and how to keep them, and the implants beneath them, healthy.
- How long will it take to get used to?
- Like anything new in your mouth, it takes some time to get used to.
- How do I clean it?
- Thorough cleaning at least twice a day is essential to its long-term health. The most effective approach is a soft toothbrush combined with a water flosser such as a Waterpik, using both the standard tip and the implant denture tip.
- Do I still need to have my "teeth" cleaned?
- Yes. We recommend a professional cleaning twice a year, plus yearly x-rays of your implants and a yearly oral cancer screening.
