Ep. 27 - The Patient's Guide to Full-Arch Maintenance (Part 2)

In Part Two of Beyond the Arches' “Maintenance Series,” Dr. Daniel Noorthoek is joined again by Dr. Blake Hauer and Erica for a practical, no-nonsense Q&A that addresses the most common questions patients ask about maintaining the health of their full-arch implants for a lifetime.From how often your zirconia bridge should be removed and cleaned (hint: once a year is the sweet spot) to what really happens during that visit, the trio explains the “why” behind every protocol. They dive deep into real-life topics, such as relines, tissue balance, choosing the right toothbrush or water flosser, avoiding abrasive toothpaste, and why “pressure washing your gums” with a Waterpik is never the goal.They also get candid about what happens when patients skip maintenance altogether—think inflamed tissue, loose screws, or worse—and why Done In One®’s approach keeps hygiene appointments affordable, accessible, and essential for long-term success.Packed with expert insight, analogies you’ll actually remember (yes, there’s a fingernail one), and relatable patient stories, this episode is your roadmap to keeping your full-arch restoration clean, healthy, and built to last.🎧 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.
