Implants Post-Operative Instructions

At Restore Dental, your well-being is our priority. Following your dental implant procedure, it’s essential to adhere to post-operative instructions for optimal healing and comfort. Expect some bleeding initially, which is normal. Apply gentle pressure with gauze as directed to manage it effectively. Remember, smoking can significantly impede healing and increase the risk of complications, so refrain from smoking post-surgery.

Some discomfort is typical after the procedure. Take recommended pain relievers as directed to alleviate pain. If prescribed medication, follow the dosage instructions carefully and avoid alcohol consumption while taking them. Nausea may occur, especially on an empty stomach; mitigate it by eating soft foods before taking pain medication and drinking plenty of water.

Proper oral hygiene is crucial for successful healing. Avoid brushing near the surgical site initially and follow specific guidelines for rinsing. Stick to a soft diet initially and gradually transition back to regular meals. Rest and limit strenuous activities to promote healing. Remember to attend follow-up appointments for monitoring and necessary adjustments. Should you experience concerning symptoms such as uncontrolled pain, excessive bleeding, or fever, don’t hesitate to contact our office promptly at (720) 863-7855 for assistance. Your comfort and well-being are paramount to us as you embark on your journey towards a revitalized smile.
