The Brushing of dental implants in Palma de Mallorca

There are always questions about the care of dental implants. Dental implants, like teeth, have to be cared for and cleaned. The belief that dental implants are for life is false. It is true that by taking good care of them and visiting our Clinicas Udemax centres every 6 months to maintain them, we can ensure that they last for many years in the mouth.
