How do I clean and care for my All-on-X dental implant bridge?

If you’re missing several of your teeth, you know how difficult it can be to eat and speak properly, and you probably don’t feel much like smiling.

Fortunately, with an All-on-X dental implant bridge, you can replace an entire upper or lower arch and get back to living your life.

Let’s look at how to care for your new smile.

Caring for Your All-on-X Dental Implant Bridge

Once you’ve replaced your missing teeth with an All-on-X dental implant bridge, you’ll want to keep it looking and feeling its best.

Here’s what you can do to clean and care for it:

  • Maintain good dental hygiene by brushing your implant bridge twice a day. Try to avoid abrasive toothpaste, as it can scratch your bridge.
  • Clean underneath your bridge with a water flosser, floss threader, or interdental brush. This will keep food and bacteria from accumulating and causing problems.
  • Rinse your mouth with antibacterial mouthwash to reduce harmful bacteria.
  • Avoid smoking and other tobacco products; they can increase your risk for implant failure.
  • Visit our dental office every six months for a routine exam and cleaning; that way, we can monitor your oral health.
