When you select to receive dental implants to restore your smile, you undergo oral surgery in order to secure them to your jaw. Because of this, you\u2019ll have to practice proper aftercare in order to ensure you allow for proper healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Once you head home from your dentist\u2019s office, here are a few things you should keep in mind for the best aftercare for dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APPLY ICE FOR SWELLING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not uncommon to experience some facial swelling following your procedure. Combat this by applying an ice-pack to your cheeks on-and-off for 24 hours after surgery and for several hours a day for the next few days after receiving your implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>TAKE MEDICATIONS WITH CARE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you received a single implant, your dentist may simply advise taking ibuprofen. However, if you received All-on-Four\u24c7 Implants or a XircOn\u2122 Implant-Supported Bridge your dentist may prescribe something a bit stronger. Whatever you take to manage the pain, make sure to follow your dentist\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>AVOID STRAWS AND SWISHING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While recovering from implant surgery, it\u2019s important not to do any tasks that could cause dry sockets or an incision to open \u2014 this can often happen by using straws or mouthwash. For at least a week after your surgery, avoid using these items to allow your wound to heal properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>DO NOT SMOKE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Smoking causes a number of oral health issues to begin with, but smoking after receiving dental implants can have major negative effects on your wound. It can cause the implant or bone graft to fail, lead to infection, and result in longer healing times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>KEEP UP WITH FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENTS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Follow-up appointments are essential for ensuring your implants are healing properly. If you skip follow-up appointments, your dentist won\u2019t be able to spot and resolve any problems that may come about after your surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
