Yes, dental implants require regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings, just like natural teeth.
Implants are surgically placed and fused with the jawbone, providing superior stability and functionality compared to dentures.
As with any surgery, there are potential risks like infection or bleeding. Our team will discuss these thoroughly during your consultation.
GBT is gentler on teeth, gums, and implants, and it can remove biofilm more effectively than traditional methods. It's also more comfortable for patients who experience anxiety during cleanings.
The frequency of GBT treatments will vary depending on your individual need and risk factors for gum disease. Dr. Larson will discuss a personalized recommendation during your consultation.
Generally, healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, our prosthodontist will assess your suitability.
