Aftercare for Dental Implants

Dental implants are a great solution to restoring smiles and supporting a strong, healthy jawbone. Before you go in for your procedure, it is important to understand the proper care necessary to support your new implants. Our Los Angeles implant doctor is an expert when it comes to helping patients regain confidence through beautiful, highly functional dental implants. 

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is inserted into the jawbone to act as an anchor for a porcelain crown. Your dental implant will take several weeks to heal, as your jaw must naturally fuse to the metal implant. After the bond strengthens and your gums heal, your dentist will attach an abutment, and eventually a porcelain crown. After your dental implant process is complete, you will have gorgeous and natural looking results. To take proper care of your dental implant, switch to non-abrasive toothpaste and special implant floss. It is incredibly important to take good care of your gums in order to avoid infection. With the proper attention, you can expect your dental implants to last a lifetime.
