All-on-4 Dental
Implants

“All-on-4” dental implants have been demonstrated to show the best durability in patients who:

• Regularly maintain excellent oral hygiene
• Maintain proper gum health
• Regularly attend dental check-ups
• Don’t bite down excessively on the implant (such as from a dysfunctional bite or by grinding their teeth)
• Do not smoke or use tobacco products

Once an all-on-4 treatment has been done, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene for lasting results. Oral health hygiene plays a major part in the successful outcome of an all-on-4 procedure.

All-on-4 implants are ideal for those who seek to replace their missing teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene establishes that dental implants remain healthy even after you’ve gone through placement, and in the years to come. This is crucial for avoiding gum disease and peri-implantitis, a type of gum disease that affects people with dental implants.

• Brush your dental implant posts twice daily, using a proxy brush
• Floss once daily, using unwaxed floss or super floss
• Use a Waterpik / water flosser device to keep your mouth clean if you’re unable to use floss
• Consider brushing and flossing after each meal

Your brushing and flossing technique should be thorough yet gentle to ensure that you’re getting the dental implant surfaces clean without damaging your gum line. You should be using a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Now that you know your implant care tips, you can now benefit from a healthier and cleaner mouth.
