Implant-supported dentures are built to be strong, comfortable, and long-lasting. In fact, they often feel so natural that many patients forget they still need ongoing maintenance. But just like natural teeth, implants and dentures benefit from routine check-ups. At Queensboro Plaza Dental Care in Long Island City, Dr. Michael Nguyen and Dr. Daniel Barayev remind patients that regular visits aren’t just about preventing problems—they’re about protecting your investment and keeping your smile at its best.
What We Check During Appointments
Think of your check-up as a tune-up for your smile. We’re not only looking at the dentures themselves—we’re also checking:
- The health of your gums
- The stability of the implants
- Bite alignment and comfort
- Signs of wear on the denture attachments
Even dentures that feel fine can shift slightly over time. Small adjustments made early on are far easier (and more comfortable) than waiting until issues become painful or disruptive.
Preventing Bigger Problems
Regular visits give us the chance to catch things while they’re still minor. A little redness around an implant site? That’s something we can treat before it turns into a bigger concern. Noticing extra wear on the denture? We can address it before chewing becomes uncomfortable. These check-ins go a long way toward keeping everything running smoothly.
At-Home Care Still Matters
Daily care makes all the difference. Brushing, flossing, and rinsing help keep bacteria under control, and tools made for implants—like special brushes or floss threaders—can make things easier. Pairing good at-home habits with professional check-ups creates the best recipe for long-term success.
