Implants Placed
Your implant bridge cannot develop cavities, but the implants, surrounding tissue, bone, screws and prosthesis still require professional maintenance.
Our centers provide full-arch implant maintenance whether your implants were placed by us or by another provider.
Full-Arch Implants Need Different Maintenance
A traditional dental cleaning focuses primarily on natural teeth. Fixed full-arch implants require evaluation of the entire implant system:
-
Tissue around the implants
-
Bone levels
-
Prosthetic screws and components
-
Implant bridge
-
Bite and force distribution
-
Areas underneath the fixed bridge that are difficult to clean at home
Professional maintenance helps identify small problems before they become larger ones.
The complete system—implants, tissue, bone and bridge—works together.
What We Check During an Implant Maintenance Visit
Implant-Safe Professional Cleaning
Specialized instruments and techniques are used around implant surfaces and underneath the fixed bridge.
Implant & Tissue Evaluation
The tissue surrounding the implants is evaluated for inflammation, bleeding and other changes.
Prosthesis Inspection
Your fixed bridge is examined for wear, cracks, chips or other concerns.
Screw & Component Evaluation
The prosthetic components are checked for signs of looseness or mechanical problems.
Bite Evaluation
Your bite is checked to identify excessive or uneven forces on the prosthesis or implants.
Bone-Level Imaging
Imaging is taken when appropriate to monitor the bone surrounding the implants.
Professional Prosthesis Cleaning
When indicated, as part of your maintenance protocol, the prosthesis can be removed for more thorough cleaning and inspection.
Personalized Home-Care Instructions
We show you how to clean underneath and around your specific full-arch prosthesis between professional visits.

When Should Full-Arch Implants Be Cleaned?
Your Maintenance Schedule Is Based on Your Case
How often you should be seen depends on your tissue health, home care, implant history, prosthesis design and other risk factors.
Your clinical team will recommend the appropriate maintenance interval after evaluating your implants.
Patients with inflammation, previous periodontal disease, difficulty cleaning underneath the prosthesis or other risk factors may require more frequent care.
Don't Wait for Your Next Cleaning If You Notice...
Changes can be subtle. Contact a center promptly if something feels different.
- Bleeding or swelling around implants
- Movement or clicking of the bridge
- Persistent bad taste or odor
- Changes in your bite
- Cracks or chips
- Pain or unusual pressure
More Than a Cleaning Appointment
Maintenance. Repairs. Prosthetic Care. All in One Center.
Because our centers focus on full-mouth implant dentistry and have in-house laboratory capabilities, maintenance can also identify issues involving the prosthesis that may need adjustment, repair or replacement.
Whether we placed your implants or someone else did, our team can evaluate your current condition and help establish an ongoing maintenance plan.
