Dental Implants Aftercare

Dental implants offer an excellent solution for missing teeth as they are permanent, natural-looking, and superior in functionality over other options like bridges or dentures. However, dental implant aftercare is crucial for reaping all these benefits.

Sticking to the dentist’s instructions for home care after dental implant surgery is essential to make the recovery process more comfortable and avoid complications.

What To Expect After Dental Implant Surgery?

Dental implant surgery is an invasive process that involves surgically placing a titanium post into your jawbone. The time required for your dental implant surgery recovery will depend on how you care for the implant site. The key is to keep your mouth clean and prevent plaque and debris formation.

You might experience pain and swelling during the initial days after your surgery, usually managed by painkillers and ice packs. Your implant site might even bleed a bit, but the bleeding is usually not a reason to worry unless it is profuse and does not stop.

What To Eat After Dental Implant Surgery?

Soft, easy-to-chew food is recommended post-surgery recovery from a dental implant procedure. However, ensuring you receive all the nutrition you need during the healing process is equally essential.

Having soups, smoothies, broths, and fruit shakes is the best. You can also eat soft fruits like mashed bananas and avocadoes. Avoid eating anything that might put undue stress on your implanted teeth.
