The most important feature of dental implants is that a metal implant (artificial tooth root) is embedded in the alveolar bone, and after the implant is well integrated with the alveolar bone, an artificial crown is fixed on the implant, allowing the patient to "grow" a tooth again.

Therefore, for the many friends who are about to be implanted or have completed the dental implant restoration treatment, we give some important suggestions:
1, within 3 to 6 months after implant removal, avoid chewing or gnawing hard objects with artificial dental implants to avoid loosening of the implant, which will adversely affect the service life of dental implants and even the combination with alveolar bone, which is the first key to determine the service life of dental implants.
2, after the completion of dental implant surgery must pay attention to oral hygiene, every morning and evening with a soft bristle toothbrush or dental implant abutment for a thorough cleaning, and rinse your mouth after meals, to avoid food residues lead to bacterial reproduction, affecting the periodontal health, reducing the service life of dental implants.
3, whether it is all-ceramic crowns or porcelain crowns, just after the completion of the implant, are not suitable for chewing hard food, on the one hand, because the implant has not yet healed around the sufficiently solid, the root tissue is vulnerable to damage; on the other hand, the porcelain teeth, because of the texture of the brittle, chewing hard food has the risk of damage, should be avoided as far as possible.
4, when encountering accidents that cause dental implants to be hit by external forces, it is possible to injure the implants, in this case, you need to go to the hospital in time to check and deal with.
5, must be in accordance with the doctor's planning, regular return to the hospital follow-up, timely understanding of the situation of the dental implants, there are problems in a timely manner to solve, to ensure that the implant longer service life!
6、Keep the cleanliness and hygiene between the dental implant crown and the neighbouring teeth to avoid the situation of neighbouring teeth caries.
