There are many steps, visits and waiting time to go through the entire process correctly. You\u2019ve put in a lot of time and money in to your new restorative, now how can you ensure they last a lifetime? Once you have your dental implants in place, you want to make sure they are taken care of properly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Dr. Kirtley also wants to make sure your dental implant(s) are cared for properly as well! We\u2019ve compiled a short list of easy steps to properly care for your new implant(s).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>Proper care for your new implant(s):<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>-Brush and Floss twice a day \u2013 just like your regular teeth, implants need to be cleaned and flossed to prevent food particles from invading your gums and implant structure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>-Say no to Staining \u2013 dental implants can stain the same as normal teeth. Steer clear of smoking, coffee, tea, sodas and wine. Moderation is key.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>-Mouthwash \u2013 special germicidal mouthwash is often prescribed by dentists for patients with dental implants. It helps reduce the risk of infection.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>-Dental visits twice a year \u2013 regular dental visits are a part of normal dental hygiene; however this is especially true for people with dental implants. Your dental implants will need a thorough cleaning and plaque removal. Along with the cleaning, the condition of your gums, jaw and anchors will be checked.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Caring for restorations is just like caring for your natural teeth: brush, floss and maintain regular dental cleanings and check-ups, as scheduled. Easy, right? With proper care, your dental implants can last you a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><strong>Contact Dr. George Kirtley for an appointment today for more information on implants\u00a0at\u00a0317-841-1111 or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.generaldentistryindianapolis.com\/\">generaldentistryindianapolis.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><b>Dr. George Kirtley welcomes patients from Spring Hill, Beech Grove and Warren Park<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Receiving a dental implant(s) treatments isn\u2019t the easiest procedure.
