After the completion of the smile-in-a-day treatment, it is important for patients to follow a maintenance plan to ensure the longevity and health of their dental implants and prosthetic teeth.
The maintenance plan for full arch or smile-in-a-day treatment typically includes regular dental check-ups and cleanings with a dental professional, as well as daily oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing. The dental professional will also monitor the health of the gums and bone surrounding the dental implants, as well as the fit and function of the prosthetic teeth.
It is important for patients to follow the maintenance plan to prevent complications such as implant failure, gum disease, or peri-implantitis (inflammation and infection of the tissues surrounding the implant). Additionally, patients should avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods that may damage the prosthetic teeth or implants.
The cost of maintenance plans for full arch or smile-in-a-day treatment may vary depending on the specific needs of the patient. It is important to discuss the cost and frequency of maintenance appointments with your dental professional to ensure the longevity and success of your full arch or smile-in-a-day treatment.
Please note that the actual cost may vary depending on various factors, such as the severity of the gum disease.
Scaling and root planing (SRP): £120-£250 per quadrant (cleaning and smoothing the tooth roots to remove plaque and tartar).
Antibiotic treatment: £40-£80 (for medicated mouthwash or oral antibiotics to treat infection).
Gum graft surgery: £300-£800 per tooth (replacing lost gum tissue to cover exposed tooth roots).
Laser gum treatment: £300-£500 per quadrant (for using a dental laser to remove diseased gum tissue).
Periodontal maintenance: £60-£150 per visit (for regular cleanings and checkups to prevent gum disease from returning).
It’s important to note that the cost of periodontal gum treatment may vary depending on various factors, such as the severity of the gum disease. Additionally, some cases may require additional procedures such as extractions or other treatments, which could impact the overall cost. Therefore, it’s always best to consult first to get an accurate estimate of the cost of specific periodontal gum treatment.
