Ep. 26 - The Patient's Guide to Full-Arch Maintenance (Part 1)

Full-arch implants aren’t “set it and forget it”—they’re a partnership. In this episode, Dr. Dan teams up with Erica and Dr. Hauer to outline a clear, no-drama playbook for maintaining healthy hybrid smiles over the long term. They break down simple daily care (using a soft brush and non-abrasive toothpaste, a water flosser at least once a day, and quick rinse hacks on the go) and explain why the choice between electric and manual matters less for hybrids than thoroughness. Then they dig into the big-picture stuff: the difference between tooth disease (periodontitis) and its implant counterparts (peri-implant mucositis/peri-implantitis), why implants can decline faster if ignored, and what an annual “under-the-hood” visit really checks—biology (bone/gums) and mechanics (screws, zirconia integrity, fit). You’ll also hear where they agree and disagree with current guidelines on removing prosthetics, why once-a-year removal hits the sweet spot, and how Done In One’s warranty ties to responsible maintenance.Bonus: modern zirconia and smarter design choices (hello, cleaner access channels and improved seals) mean qualified local providers can also provide safe assistance. Bottom line: full-arch maintenance isn’t hard—it’s important. Stick to your simple daily routine, show up yearly for a thorough tune-up, and your smile will pay you back every day.🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: [email protected]☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArches X (Twitter) - https://x.com/beyondthearchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.
