Restored teeth or implants need at least as much, if not more, hygiene maintenance than teeth, and so it is important that a proper regimen is adhered to once treatment is complete.

A patient who has had decay in the past will continue to experience problems with decay unless they change their sugar frequency – crowns do not protect teeth from decay – they only restore what has been lost.
Patients who have had complex treatment also need regular examination, so that problems may be picked up early and dealt with promptly.
