Taking Care of Your Dental Implants

How dental implants from your dentists in Katy, Texas can enhance your life.

Dental implants are an outstanding tooth replacement solution and can greatly enhance your life. They are stable and help conserve bone, giving you full facial contours and a firm jawline. They provide strong chewing function, so you can enjoy food again.

You never have to worry about decay or staining with dental implants, but you still need to take care of them. Dr. Marvin Olim and Dr. Sarah Olim of Olim and Associates in Katy, Texas offer comprehensive dental care, including dental implants to enhance your life.

Dental implants come in several types including one-piece implants, and implants with several parts:

  • The dental implant screw, or fixture which is implanted in your jaw and will become the “root” of your tooth
  • The abutment, which attaches the crown to the screw
  • The crown, which is the top part of the implant and looks like a natural tooth
  • When you take care of your dental implants, you will be dealing with the abutment and crown areas.


The most important way to take care of your dental implant is to keep it clean, just like your teeth. Remember to:

Brush all of your teeth and your dental implants after meals and before bed. A sonic or electric toothbrush works well to flush out bacteria along the gumline.

Floss all of your teeth and your dental implants at least once each day. Floss threaders or loops are helpful if you have multiple dental implants. You can also use interdental brushes.

You must visit your dentist every 3 to 6 months or as recommended. Your dentist can determine if your dental implant is healthy, and you want your dental implant to last.

Dental implants can provide you with a lifetime of smiles, with proper care and maintenance. To find out more about taking care of your dental implants, call Dr. Marvin Olim and Dr. Sarah Olim of Olim and Associates in Katy, Texas at (281) 206-0249. Call today.
