Where you previously saw tooth gaps that threatened your remaining teeth, now you see a full, white smile that anyone would love. Still, you\u2019d be wise to consider whether your implants could suffer future setbacks. In particular, is it possible for them to stain like natural teeth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer is \u201cyes.\u201d For a more in-depth response, read this summary of the reasons behind dental implant stains and ways to prevent them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reasons for Dental Implant Stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants are usually made from stain-resistant ceramic porcelain. However, they\u2019ll stain when their protective coating or glaze gets damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This damage can occur from a variety of factors. Polishing implants with abrasive materials or acidic fluoride treatment is known to cause stains. Similarly, acidic foods can wear away at the glaze as well. Poor oral care and chewing on hard items also lead to stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s even possible for implants\u2019 bonding material to discolor over time. A patient may notice staining around the treatment\u2019s edges when this happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid Dental Implant Stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent implants from staining, treat them with the necessary care. Some suggestions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Use Abrasive Toothpaste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While abrasive toothpaste can clean and whiten natural teeth, it will stain your artificial teeth. Specifically, it\u2019ll create openings in implants\u2019 surfaces that can get stained by other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use non-abrasive, gel-based toothpaste instead of whitening toothpaste. Your dentist could recommend approved kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Smoke or Chew Tobacco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tobacco has tar and nicotine, chemicals that discolor natural teeth and implants with a brownish, yellow look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Worse, tobacco products result in implant failure. As items like cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco narrow blood vessels in your gums, less blood flows to said tissues to keep them alive and healed. If that were to happen, you would need to get new dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Your Teeth After Meals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember to brush and floss your teeth after eating. Otherwise, harmful substances from your meal can erode your implants and make them vulnerable to stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, try not to brush and floss your teeth immediately after eating. You\u2019ll only spread leftover acid onto your teeth if you do. Wait for at least half an hour before any cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t assume that stain resistance means stain immunity. Keep your implants free of non-white coloring by remembering the above tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kramerdmd.com\/meet-your-dentist.html\"><em>Dr. James K.
