You may suddenly find, once you have dental implants and restorations in place, that you begin wondering about your oral health. What’s going on in your mouth, you wonder? Is everything okay? Is there some silent problem going on? How are you supposed to be able to determine what’s happening and what might happen? We understand that you simply want to be sure that all is well and on track, of course, which is why our Conroe, TX team is here to bring you important guidance. (Good news: It’s easy to keep up with your smile, just like always!).
How Do I Know How They’re Doing?
As you have already guessed, it is difficult to know how your dental implants and oral health are doing just by sitting and thinking about them (or even by glancing in the mirror). The best way to ensure all is well and to know what’s happening is to set up dental checkups two times a year, six months apart, for consistent guidance and information from our team!
What If Something Feels Different?
We remind patients that if something does feel different, they need only to call our team. We will help you figure out what’s going on with your smile, so it and your dental implants remain safe!
What If Everything Seems Perfectly Fine?
Whether you have one, multiple, or all of your teeth replaced with dental implants and restorations, we know that one thing is often true: Patients guess that since the tissue they have received is artificial, then as long as everything feels okay, there’s probably no need for dental care anymore. However, this is not the case! You may still have remaining teeth, you definitely have soft tissues (like your gums), and you always need care at home and professional care. So, no matter what, even when your smile feels A-OK, never stop keeping up with dental hygiene and your required dental checkups and cleanings!
Will Something Suddenly Go Wrong?
It’s not likely, unless you are ignoring your smile, ignoring your dental care, eating all sorts of things that are dangerous for your oral health in general, or you’re not being mindful of protecting your smile during sports (hint: wear an athletic mouthguard). Otherwise, successfully placed dental implants and restorations remain in good shape, when you protect your smile!
