Dental implants provide a level of comfort and stability that simply cannot be reached with traditional restorations; plus, implants have the added benefit of maintaining bone health. The roots of our teeth help stimulate bone growth and regeneration when we talk and chew.
Dental implants work in the same way to encourage bone regeneration and prevent deterioration. An implant-supported bridge can last between 10 and 20 years, but with proper care, it has the potential to last a lifetime.
Caring for Your Implant-Supported Bridge
Oral Hygiene and Bridge Maintenance
During your regular dental visits, your hygienist can help you learn how to properly clean around the implants and under your bridge to make sure you remove all debris and bacteria.
Systemic Health
The lifespan of an implant-supported bridge varies from patient to patient but practicing proper nutrition and regular dental visits will help keep your bridge healthy and working properly.
Dental implants are considered a permanent restoration so with proper care and maintenance, you and your dentist will work together to protect your investment and keep it as long as possible.
