As advised: That's a great question to ask your dentist when your treatment is complete. Mark your calendar and call for an appointment in case the office does not book or remind you. Every case and every patient is different. At least every six months, and more often if advised.

Often : In the case of leg or arm prosthesis your doctor should see you soon after the device is delivered to make sure it fits your needs. The prosthetist will want to see you a few weeks after delivery, a few months later and as needed. They are the person to help you if any part of the prosthesis breaks or is not working properly.
