How to Care for Dental Implants in Syracuse after the Procedure

When you have a tooth that is failing or missing, restoring your tooth with a dental implant is one of the best investments you can make in your oral health. Dental implants not only restore your confidence and self esteem, they also protect the integrity of your oral health. Creative Dental Concepts has more information for you about dental implants in Syracuse and how to care for them after your procedure.

What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants utilize a biocompatible titanium post to take the place of your root. It’s surgically placed into your bone and allowed time to heal and integrate with your bone. This creates a secure and stable foundation for your new tooth, which is comprised of a high quality porcelain crown.

Dr. Gregory Craybas or Dr. Donald Crumb, will customize your new tooth so that it complements your smile and provides all the function you were used to with your natural tooth. With your new implant, you’re able to eat, chew, smile, talk, brush, and floss with ease once again.

Implant Care

After your procedure, you’ll want to make our doctors aware of any pain, sensitivity, or bleeding. Allowing your implant ample time to heal typically alleviates most issues, however it’s important to contact Creative Dental Concepts right away if you notice anything different going on with your implant tooth.

Your implant should be easy to care for day to day as you’ll be able to brush and floss as you normally would. Regular checkups and professional cleanings with our hygienist are also important for keeping your new tooth healthy. Our doctors will also monitor your implant through dental x-rays that ensure your bone is healthy and properly supporting your implant. Implants offer great longevity as with the right home care and regular dental checkups they can last a lifetime.
