As you discuss dental implants with us, you may find that you’re looking forward to a lot of changes, all of which are very welcome! Getting through a meal will become easy again, feeling good about your smile’s appearance will become a given, and you can look forward to many more improvements. However, we don’t speak much in regard to what’s going to remain exactly the same. Today, though, our Santa Rosa, CA team focuses on just that! Why? Well, because what you may not realize is as much as learning about changes will help you feel good about implants, so will learning that some things are going to stay just as they are!
The Products You Use Will Remain
We are happy to report that you’re not going to have to run out to buy a whole set of new products to keep your smile healthy after you receive dental implants. Nope, you’re not going to have to order them from us or through an online source either. Instead, your usual and likely beloved and thoughtfully curated collection of toothpaste, a toothbrush, and dental floss is going to be able to remain just the same. How about that?
Your Dental Hygiene Approach Is Going To Look The Same
When you have dental implants and restorations in place, you get to keep the same products, as you just learned. However, you wonder: Are you going to use them in the same way? The answer is going to be a big yes! Remember that the goal of dental hygiene never changes, which is to remove plaque and limit debris and bacteria from damaging your oral tissues. So, you’re still going to brush your smile on a twice-daily basis and flossing will remain essential. The exact way you navigate throughout your smile may be something you adapt every so slightly but it’s still just brushing and flossing!
Your Dental Visits Will Stay As They Are
Patients frequently wonder if they’re going to need a new type of professional dental care to keep their smiles healthy after dental implants are in place. Again, the goal of professional care is still the same: To check in on your smile, monitor your oral health, and to remove plaque and tartar that you can’t quite remove fully on your own at home (nobody can, don’t worry)! So, again, things will stay as they are! Keep going with those twice-every-year preventive visits!
