A titanium post must be surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as a new root. It will provide a stable foundation for your restoration, which is attached using an abutment. You can expect a brief recovery after your procedure. Proper healing is essential for ensuring the success of your new smile. Here are the top do\u2019s and don&#8217;ts to follow after your implant placement surgery.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do\u2019s of Dental Implant Surgery Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your mouth will be healed on the surface in a couple of weeks. However, it will take a few months for your jaw to integrate with the post through a process called osseointegration. Here\u2019s what you should do to promote a quick recovery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Prepare for Your Recovery: <\/strong>Plan for your recovery by preparing a few meals and relaxing activities, so you have less to worry about when you get home.<\/li><li><strong>Follow Your Aftercare Instructions: <\/strong>You can expect your mouth to be sore for a few days. You can manage the discomfort with a prescribed or over-the-counter pain reliever. Applying a cold compress can reduce discomfort and minimize swelling and bruising.<\/li><li><strong>Get Plenty of Rest:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll need to rest for 24 hours after your procedure to allow the effects of any medications to wear off. You&#8217;ll also need to avoid strenuous activities for at least 1-2 weeks.<\/li><li><strong>Follow Your Diet Instructions:<\/strong> Your implant dentist will instruct you to stick to a liquid diet for the first week or two. You&#8217;ll need to eat soft foods for several weeks to allow your jaw to fuse to your implant post.<\/li><li><strong>Keep Your Mouth Clean:<\/strong> Follow your oral hygiene routine laid out by your dentist to keep your mouth clean. Be careful when cleaning near the implant sites.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019ts of Dental Implant Surgery Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple mistakes can lead to delays in your treatment process and increase your risk of failure. Here are the top things you don&#8217;t want to do during your recovery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Don\u2019t Smoke: <\/strong>Tobacco affects the immune system, which can lead to delayed healing and infections.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t Drink Alcohol:<\/strong> Alcohol can increase your risk of healing complications and infections.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t Exercise:<\/strong> Strenuous exercise increases blood flow to the healing tissues, which can increase your risk of bleeding and discomfort.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t Eat Hard or Sticky Foods:<\/strong> Eating hard or sticky foods can put too much pressure on your dental implants, causing integration to fail.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t Consume Hot Foods or Drinks:<\/strong> It can take a few hours for any numbing medications to dissipate, which can cause accidental burns.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In no time at all, your bone will integrate with your implant. You&#8217;ll be ready for the next step in your journey to a complete smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Karina Aloian<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentexgroup.com\/karina-aloian-dmd.html\">Dr. Aloian<\/a> earned her dental degree at Midwestern University and has regularly continued her education to provide up-to-date services, like Invisalign and laser dentistry.
