How much is an implant hygiene appointment in London?

Implant maintenance at Sure Smile Clinic London starts from £95. Full-arch implant bridge maintenance, which takes longer, starts from £140.

How often should implants be cleaned professionally?

Every three to six months. Three-monthly is advisable for smokers, previous gum disease patients and anyone with a full-arch bridge.

What is peri-implantitis?

It is inflammation around an implant with progressive bone loss — the main long-term threat to implants. Caught at the earlier mucositis stage it is fully reversible.

Can I use an electric toothbrush on implants?

Yes, and we usually recommend it, along with interdental brushes and a water flosser sized for your restoration.

Do implants need X-rays?

Yes — periodic radiographs are the only reliable way to monitor bone levels around implants over time.

Warning signs to watch for

Bleeding when you clean around an implant, a bad taste, tenderness, a crown that feels loose or gum shrinking away from the restoration. These need assessing promptly — early peri-implant mucositis is reversible, established bone loss is not.

How often?

Every three to six months for most implant patients, and every three months if you smoke, have a history of gum disease, or wear a full-arch bridge that is harder to clean.
