An implant is a lifetime investment — but like any engineered structure, it needs professional upkeep. Our dedicated implant hygiene protocol ensures your implants stay clean, stable, and problem-free for decades.
Schedule a CleaningThe most common cause of late implant failure is peri-implantitis — a bacterial infection of the gum and bone tissue surrounding the implant post. It begins as inflammation (peri-implant mucositis, essentially implant-specific gingivitis) and progresses to bone loss around the post, ultimately threatening the implant's structural integrity.
Peri-implantitis is largely preventable with consistent home care and professional maintenance. The bacteria that cause it form biofilm at and below the gumline — in areas that standard brushing and flossing cannot adequately reach. Professional cleaning removes this biofilm before it becomes a clinical problem.
Implant maintenance is not the same as a standard teeth cleaning. We use implant-specific instruments and a dedicated assessment checklist at every visit.
We check implant stability, probe depths around each implant, and evaluate the gum tissue for signs of inflammation, recession, or peri-implantitis.
Periodic X-rays confirm that bone levels around each implant remain stable — catching any early bone loss before it becomes a clinical problem.
We use titanium or carbon-fiber instruments (never metal scalers that scratch implant surfaces) to remove calculus and biofilm at and below the gumline.
We assess your home care routine and recommend the appropriate tools — interdental brushes, water flossers, implant-specific floss — for your specific restoration type.
For most patients with a single implant or a small bridge and good oral hygiene habits, twice-yearly professional maintenance visits are appropriate. Patients with full-arch restorations (All-on-4, All-on-6), a history of peri-implant issues, or conditions like diabetes that increase infection risk typically benefit from three or four visits per year.
We develop a personalized maintenance schedule for every implant patient at Sonrisa — calibrated to your specific restoration type, medical history, and hygiene compliance — so you get the protection your investment deserves, not a one-size-fits-all recall interval.
Whether you had your implants placed here or elsewhere, our implant maintenance program keeps them performing for life. Book your cleaning and implant health check today.
