    Detailed Answer

    Based on Dr. Bashi’s video, with additional information for clarity and context.

    Implant-supported dentures need daily care, including cleaning the replacement teeth and the areas around the implants. The correct routine depends on whether your restoration is removable or fixed.

    For removable snap-on dentures, use a soft brush and a non-abrasive cleanser recommended for the materials. Remove and clean the appliance according to the team's instructions, and use the advised storage or soaking method. Avoid products that could damage attachments.

    For fixed restorations, do not attempt to remove them yourself. The team can show you suitable brushes and cleaning aids for beneath the restoration and around the implants.

    Attend maintenance visits so the dentist can check tissue health, fit, and attachment wear. Implants do not develop cavities, but the surrounding gums and bone remain vulnerable to disease.
