What Happens After Having a Dental Implant Placed

Please note that when you seek treatment with MyoDental in Surrey, our implantologists and dentists will always provide written aftercare instructions following your procedure. This ensures you know exactly how to care for your implant and enjoy a speedy and comfortable recovery process.

After your implant placement, you won’t be left in the dark to take care of it all alone. We’ll still have scheduled appointments up to around three months later when we check on your healing and install your final restoration.

We’ll also schedule yearly check-ups and cleans to keep your implant healthy and ensure it lasts for many more decades to come.

The best aftercare for dental implants in the long term

Maintaining and looking after dental implants in the long term is super easy. Patients are encouraged to treat their implants and fake teeth like natural teeth, which means brushing and flossing twice daily. Regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments are still necessary – even if you have a full mouth of dental implants.

While cleaning your implant will be easy, it might take a minor adjustment to ensure you’re doing it correctly. For example, you’ll need to focus on the abutment the most, and special floss is available to help you tick all boxes.
