Dental Implant Maintenance & Long-Term Oral Health
Getting dental implants is just the first step. Like natural teeth, implants need regular care to last. At Nevada OMS, we help Las Vegas patients keep their implants healthy for life.
Why Implant Care Matters
Think of your dental implant as a lifetime investment. With proper care, implants can last decades. Without it, problems like infection or bone loss can develop. Good maintenance helps protect both your implant and your investment.
