Warranty

The lifespan of implants is not limited by time. Implants, like natural teeth, are surrounded by gums, which protect them from infection. If implants are exposed to bacteria found in plaque and plaque, inflammation of the surrounding gum tissue occurs. Chronic inflammation caused by plaque on teeth or implants leads to bone loss and tooth/implant loss. Therefore, after a successful implant procedure, we and the patient must ensure the results of our work last as long as possible. New teeth attached to implants will only last long in patients who maintain excellent oral hygiene. Poor hygiene can lead to bone inflammation and implant rejection. To remove difficult-to-remove plaque, patients should have their implants and teeth cleaned at least twice a year at the dentist’s office. Therefore, the patient is also subject to certain obligations. They must commit in writing to maintaining good oral hygiene and scheduling follow-up visits, during which the doctor monitors the condition of the tissues around the implants, checking for any signs of overload on the implant crown, and checking for signs of parafunction. Periodic X-rays are also taken. If the implant disintegrates through no fault of the patient, a new implant will be placed free of charge under the “warranty.” However, if the patient disregards the contract, the warranty is void.

The warranty on dental implants is based not only on the quality of the materials used and the doctor’s experience, but also on close cooperation with the patient. The success of implant treatment is the result of a collaborative effort – a professionally performed procedure and responsible and systematic attention to oral hygiene.

Regular follow-up visits play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the tissues around the implant. During these visits, the doctor assesses the condition of the gums, the stability of the implant, and the quality of the prosthetic restoration. If necessary, radiological examinations are also performed to monitor bone health and detect any abnormalities early.

What about hygiene?

Daily hygiene is also crucial. In addition to standard toothbrushing, dental flossing is recommended. Interdental brushes or an irrigator also help thoroughly clean hard-to-reach areas around implants. This effectively prevents inflammation and maintains healthy gums.

Patients should also avoid risk factors that can negatively impact the durability of implants, such as smoking, poor diet, or lack of regular dental checkups. A conscious approach to treatment significantly increases the chances of long-term, problem-free use of implants.

As part of post-treatment care, the clinic provides support and personalized recommendations tailored to the patient’s needs. This ensures high-quality treatment results are maintained over time.

An implant warranty is not just a formality, but above all, confirmation of the quality of treatment and the commitment of a team of specialists. With proper hygiene practices and regular checkups, implants can last for many years, ensuring comfort, safety, and a natural-looking smile.
