The best electric toothbrushes for implants, crowns and veneers

The combination that suits a mouth full of margins: a gentle sonic sweep, a Gum Health mode, three intensities and a pressure warning you feel in the handle, for about $90. The lowest setting is soft enough to use along a freshly placed crown without flinching, and the C3 heads in the box are a general cleaning shape rather than a polisher.

For crowns and bridges this is the easy answer. The sonic motion carries fluid along the gum line, which is useful where the brush head itself cannot sit flat, such as under the span of a bridge. Pair it with floss threaders or a water flosser for the parts no brush reaches.

Two things to plan for. The C3 heads are the priciest regular Sonicare refills we priced at about $15 each in a two-pack, and any click-on Sonicare head fits, so a C2 or a G3 at about $10 is a reasonable swap. There is no travel case and no app. Read our full 5900 review.

A visible warning beats a felt one when you are being careful on purpose. The iO3’s neck ring glows green while your pressure is right and red when it is not, which makes it the brush we suggest to people who have just been told by a hygienist that they are brushing too hard around a crown. About $110 with two heads and a case.

Use the Gentle Care head rather than Radiant White. The round head is also easier to hold still on a single implant collar than a full-size sonic head, because it only covers one tooth at a time.

The iO motor is much quieter than classic Oral-B, so the brush does not feel aggressive in the hand, which matters if the reason you were scrubbing was that the brush felt like it was not doing anything.

About $50 for the gentle sonic feel, a pressure warning that pulses in the handle, and C2 heads that cost around $10. If you have a crown or two and a normal mouth otherwise, this does the job and nothing on this page cleans meaningfully better.

Buy the July 2026 version, model HX4031, which lists three intensities and an EasyStart ramp over your first fourteen brushes. Amazon sells it alongside the older HX3681 at the same price, so there is no reason to take the older one. The ramp is genuinely useful if your gums are tender after recent work.

Brushing and a water jet through the same head, for about $180. Around implants and under bridges the brush is only half the job, because the part that inflames is the sulcus around the collar and the space under the pontic, and bristles do not enter either. A water flosser does.

The Sonic-Fusion runs the jet while you brush, which removes the step most people skip. The compromise is that the head is also the flosser tip, so it wears at twice the rate and costs about $12.49 to replace. A cheaper route to the same outcome is any brush on this page plus a standalone water flosser; our combination page compares both approaches.

The one brush here that ships a single-tuft head, which is the tool for working around one implant collar or the abutment of a bridge. It is sold mostly through dental practices, costs about $250 and has three heads: Power, Sensitive and Single.

This is not the brush to buy for a mouth with one crown in it. It is the brush a hygienist hands someone who has had peri-implant inflammation and needs to clean a specific spot properly twice a day. Heads cost about $16.16 each, which is the second dearest on this site.
