Brush twice a day and floss once daily. Using interdental brushes, brushes that slide between teeth, can help clean the hard to reach areas around your implant.

Carefully floss around the abutments. Floss two or three times per day. You might invest in an irrigation device in order to give your teeth and gums an especially deep cleaning

Visit your dentist

Cleanings and exams every six months can help ensure your teeth implants are in good condition, and that it stays that way. Your cleanings will prevent plaque and cavities that could endanger your implants.
