Follow a good oral health program that you and your dentist go over. Adequate home hygiene goes a long way to keep implants healthy
Dear patient,
You cannot smoke. Oral hygiene must be 100%.
Proper dental hygiene just like your routine brushing and flossing, and a little more around implants. Infected implants are also due to the peri-implantitis very commonly found around titanium implants. Zirconia ceramic implants are much better in that respect. Taking regular vitamin C, D, and Coenzyme Q10 also helps gums.
On a routine basis they should not get infected unless they are failing
