Single implant

Care for a single implant

If one or more single teeth are missing, they can be replaced with single implants. Even though the result may look like a natural tooth, give it some extra attention.

The space between your implant and your natural teeth or between your implants can be very narrow. Use dental floss or an interdental brush to clean around the tooth replacement.
You may also need a special brush, such as TePe Implant Care, TePe Compact Tuft or TePe Interspace. Ask your dental professional for guidance.

 

TePe Dental Floss

TePe Dental Floss

Dental floss is ideal to use where the space is very narrow. TePe's dental floss is flat and waxed and easily glides through tight contact surfaces.

 


TePe Interdental Brushes

TePe Interdental Brushes

If the space is somewhat wider, an interdental brush is more efficient. TePe Interdental Brushes are available in several colour coded sizes, all with plastic coated wire for gentle and safe cleaning. You may need more than one size for different spaces – let your dentist/hygienist help you find the correct one(s).
