Although implants cannot decay, they do require regular professional care to prevent inflammation or bone loss around the implant. This includes brushing, interdental cleaning, routine hygiene appointments and periodic specialist reviews to monitor implant stability and the condition of the prosthesis.
Some implant components—such as retentive inserts for overdentures or prosthetic screws—may occasionally need replacement due to normal wear. Ongoing maintenance is essential for protecting your investment and ensuring your implant continues to function comfortably for years to come.
