Dental implants<\/a> are like your natural teeth in many ways. They look similar, they function almost as well, and they feel nearly identical, too. But what you may not realize is that despite these similarities, there are some key differences. For starters, because they are not real teeth, they can\u2019t get cavities. That\u2019s great news, but it doesn’t mean that you\u2019re completely off the hook when it comes to caring for them. That\u2019s because even though they can\u2019t decay, yes, they can still become stained or discolored. Here\u2019s why when it comes to dental implants, you must care for them properly to make the most of your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why Do Dental Implants Stain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though your dental implants are made of a durable material, they are coated with a glaze that offers an added layer of protection and gives them a natural looking shine. Unfortunately, however, this glaze is not impenetrable. In fact, if you aren\u2019t careful, you can easily cause it to wear off, leaving the crown susceptible to stains and discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods to Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While dental implants afford you the ability to chew a wide variety of foods you might not be able to manage with dentures, there are still a few items you should consider avoiding.  Foods with tannins like berries or wine, as well as coffee and cola can all stain your natural teeth as well as your implants, especially if their glaze has any wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Prevent Stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, preventing your dental implants from staining is easy. You simply need to care for them the same way you would your natural teeth: by brushing twice a day (or after every meal if possible) and flossing at least once a day. You should also continue to visit your dentist twice a year for your semi-annual exam and cleanings. The key difference between caring for implants and natural teeth, however, is what you use to clean them. To keep their glaze safe from damage, you should only use a soft-bristled toothbrush, and you should never use an abrasive toothpaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, dental implants offer many benefits that dentures simply can\u2019t touch, but to make the most of them, it\u2019s important that you care for them properly. Otherwise, you could experience damage like eroded glaze and permanent stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
