How Do I Care for my Dental Implant?

Are you considering dental implants but have questions about how to care for your dental implant post-operatively? Watch this video by Joliet implant dentist Dr. Russell Ras to learn more about dental implants and how to take care of them after treatment.

How do you care for your dental implants? You care for them the same way you care for your teeth. They need to be brushed. They need to be flossed. Typically depends upon the extent of your implant care. We provide you with a waterpik device that helps you keep things clean, but basically the same care that you provide for your teeth would be what you would be needed to do for your implants.

    • “The doctor and staff have treated my mom with such care and kindness. The doctor was able to help my mom with her dentures by doing implants for her. She can actually eat real food now. I can’t say enough nice things about everybody here.” – Nadine K.

    The Mini Dental Implant Advantage

    Half The Size

    Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.

    Half The Cost

    In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is less than half the cost of a traditional implant case, saving you money.

    Preserves Bone Structure

    Implants preserve your natural bone structure so you can maintain the shape of your face and avoid continued bone loss where teeth are missing.

    Immediate Results

    Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.

    Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits

    Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.

    No More Decay

    Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.
