For quality cleaning of implants it is necessary to visit a periodontist regularly. Patients who have implants are recommended to have professional hygiene once every 3 months.

Lack of hygiene can lead to the development of peri-implantitis (inflammation of the tissues around the implant).

The number of visits for professional hygiene is selected by a periodontist. We recommend professional oral hygiene once every 6 months. In combination with daily care, this is usually enough.

It all depends on the teeth condition, the natural color of the tooth and adherence to a “white diet” after the whitening procedure. The color intensity usually does not change for 6 months. In addition, the effect of the procedure lasts up to 1 year.
