A dental implant needs healthy gums and bone around it to last. When cared for, the gum and bone hug the implant snugly. If plaque builds up, the gum around the implant can become inflamed. This is called peri-implantitis, and the gum turns red and puffy. Left untreated, it can lead to bone loss around the implant. Good cleaning and regular checkups help keep the implant healthy. The result of care is an implant that stays firmly in place. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
