The same as with natural teeth: good are the best preventive measures. However, normally, prostheses are difficult to clean and may require more sophisticated hygiene devices such as a dental water jet.
People with prostheses in particular are advised to have regular professional cleaning. Thus, areas which are difficult to access in the daily hygiene routine can be cleaned.
People with this kind of prosthesis need more comprehensive checks by a prosthetics specialist. By attending regular scheduled check-ups you are ensuring the prosthesis will last much longer.
