Once your dental implants have healed, you will be able to care for them just like your natural teeth. You will need to continue to brush and floss your teeth, and you should also visit our office for dental check-ups and cleanings.
You should also avoid chewing on hard foods, like ice, and using your teeth to open packages or bottles. Dental implants are very strong and can withstand a lot, but excessive force can still damage them.
