Implants - Aftercare and Recovery

How do I clean a partial implant bridge?

Daily interdental cleaning and professional check-ups.

Use superfloss or interdental brushes between the bridge and the gums. A water flosser on a low setting removes food particles from awkward corners. Use an electric toothbrush with a soft head on the crown surfaces. Avoid abrasive toothpastes that can damage ceramic. A chlorhexidine mouthwash reduces the bacterial load. Professional cleaning removes tartar around the screw connections. Check monthly for loose screws or changes in your bite. Use a curved floss threader to clean under the bridge. Avoid toothpicks, which can cause scratches. A daily cleaning time of 5 to 7 minutes optimises the lifespan.
