Maintenance of dental implants is essential to ensure their long-term success and stability. Implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Proper oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing around the implant site, is vital for preventing plaque buildup and gum disease. Regular dental checkups are necessary to monitor the implant and surrounding tissues for any signs of complications, such as infection or bone loss.

In some cases, the dentist may recommend professional cleaning or scaling around the implant to ensure that it remains clean and stable. Proper maintenance can help ensure the implant remains functional and prevents the need for costly repairs or replacements.
