Caring for Dental Implants in North York
Excellent home care and routine checkups with your dentist are integral to caring for your dental implant and keeping it healthy.
Infection is the enemy of a dental implant, causing it to fail. When you keep your teeth clean and bacteria-free, you also protect your dental health and promote the longevity of your tooth implant.
Caring for Dentures in North York
Traditional removable dentures rely on a snug fit to your jawbone to stay in place. This can wear on your jawbone, causing deterioration over time that can impact the fit of your denture.
Most patients need a denture reline periodically to ensure a snug and comfortable fit for their appliance.
Our dentists can help determine the right schedule for checkups and denture maintenance. Contact your North York dentist at (437) 900-8266 if it's time for your next dental appointment.
