\"How<\/a>Ever since you\u2019ve gotten dental implants in Wayland, you spend a little extra time in the mirror while getting ready. You\u2019d gotten so used to seeing your smile broken up by gaps that it\u2019s always a nice surprise to see it whole again. You want your dental implants to keep looking like this, so how should you take care of them? Is it very different from how you maintain your regular teeth? Today, the team at Wayland Dental are going to share 5 easy tips to help your dental implants look great for years to come.<\/p>\n

1. Brush and Floss Regularly<\/h2>\n

One of the biggest advantages of getting dental implants is that they don\u2019t require some convoluted maintenance regimen. You\u2019re probably already doing 2 of the most effective things possible: brushing and flossing. These are the 2 most important tools you can use to keep your implants looking great for decades. One of the only things that can cause them to fail is if the gums or bone surrounding the implants become infected, and an easy way to prevent that is simply to brush and floss every day like you already are.<\/p>\n

2. Only Use Your Teeth to Eat<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all gotten frustrated trying to open a stubborn package, so we resort to using our teeth. As tempting as this is, don\u2019t do it. <\/strong>This often ends up breaking teeth, and then you need to drop whatever you\u2019re doing and see us immediately. Your teeth are indeed tools, but not for opening anything.<\/p>\n

3. Limit Stain-Causing Foods and Drinks<\/h2>\n

Your new teeth can become stained just like your other ones, so if you want to keep them nice and white, you\u2019ll need to limit the sources of stains in your diet. Things like coffee, wine (red and <\/em>white), tobacco, and certain berries can leave residue on your teeth that can make them appear yellow or brown. You don\u2019t need to give up these items completely, just make sure you don\u2019t have them every day, and be sure to brush when you do.<\/p>\n

4. Use a Mouthguard for Sports<\/h2>\n

Sports are one of the leading causes of tooth injuries<\/a>. This is no mystery as they usually involve people running around as fast as they can, and all kinds of things flying at high velocities. Even if you simply like to bike every day, a mouthguard<\/a> can go a long way in keeping a little accident from turning into a big one. If you\u2019re about to participate in any type of rigorous physical activity, this little precaution will do a lot to protect your teeth.<\/p>\n

5. See Us Regularly<\/h2>\n

Like we mentioned earlier, taking care of your implants is a lot like your other teeth, so that means they need a professional cleaning at least twice a year<\/a>. Our team will be able to clean them in ways you simply can\u2019t at home, plus it will give Dr. Putt<\/a> and Dr. Dines<\/a> the chance to examine your implant. If it looks like there are any issues, they can help you take steps to address them before they become too advanced.<\/p>\n

Any Questions?<\/h2>\n

That covers the basics! Fortunately, it\u2019s nothing too complicated, but it\u2019s good to have a plan. Your dental implants do so much more for you than simply replace your missing teeth, so we want to help you keep them looking great for decades.<\/p>\n
