A Guide to Post-Surgery Care for Dental Implants
Recovering from dental implant surgery is a critical phase of your treatment. Following proper aftercare instructions is key to ensuring the success and longevity of your new smile. At Elonix Dental Clinic, we provide detailed guidance for a smooth recovery.
The First 24 Hours: Immediate Aftercare
The first day is the most critical for healing. Here’s what to do:
Rest and Relax: Avoid strenuous activities and get plenty of rest.
Manage Swelling: Apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek for 15 minutes at a time.
Eat Soft Foods: Stick to liquids and soft foods like yogurt, soup, and smoothies.
The First Week: Promoting Healing
As you continue to heal, follow these guidelines:
Gentle Oral Hygiene: You can start to gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water after 24 hours. Avoid brushing the surgical site directly.
Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: These can significantly impair healing.
Take Prescribed Medications: Follow the instructions for any prescribed antibiotics or pain relievers.
Our comprehensive oral surgery and post-operative process are designed to ensure you have a comfortable and successful recovery.
