Cleaning and Caring for Dental Implants

Author(s): Dental News

If you’re about to get dental implants, thinking about implant treatment, or caring for someone who just had dental implants placed, proper home care can impact how successful the procedure is. The right oral hygiene and home care routine will help you minimize discomfort, improve healing times, and help ensure your implants don’t get infected.

What to Expect After Dental Implant Surgery

The recovery time following dental implant placement will depend on the individual, the number of implants placed, and adjunctive services such as bone grafting, extractions, or sedation during implant treatment.

For a typical single-tooth implant treatment, you can generally manage the first day or so with an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory such as Motrin or ibuprofen. Applying a cold compress on the side of your face will help reduce inflammation, which is usually the most common cause of post-operative discomfort.

If you are receiving multiple implants as well as grafts, or have also had teeth extracted, you will need a bit more time to recover. Take all medications as prescribed and stick to a soft diet for the first several days. Full mouth treatments typically involve a removable healing overdenture, which covers the teeth as they heal, to protect the gum tissue, so be sure to follow the surgeon’s instructions to promote proper healing. Your dentist will need to remove any non-dissolvable stitches within the next two weeks.
