Your gums and surrounding teeth need time to adapt to the new implants. Fortunately, maintaining your dental implants daily is straightforward and manageable. With guidance from ZUF Dental Care’s skilled dentists in Solihull, dental implant aftercare can be as simple as you imagine.
With proper care and handling dental implants can last up to twenty years. This impressive lifespan begins with a thorough healing process immediately after the implants are placed. Effective aftercare involves maintaining the overall health of your entire mouth, including your teeth and gums. By following the recommended aftercare procedures, your dental implants will integrate seamlessly, becoming a natural and enduring part of your smile.
After the new dental implants, caring for them for the next six months is very crucial because during this period the implants are very vulnerable and they are in need of extra care. At ZUF dental care our professionals will provide a personalised care plan according to your specific type of dental implant.
1. Always eat soft foods products during the recovery period to avoid damage and extra pressure on the implants
2. Use the mouthwash suggested by the dentist to prevent attacks from bacteria during the recovery period.
3. Ensure your mouth is always kept as clean as possible, especially right after the procedure.
4. The medication prescribed by our experts always helps to cure the issue, follow the instructions carefully and try not to take medication by self.
5. If pain is not bearable you can take painkillers like ibuprofen, but for a safer side take advice from your dental doctor.
1. Avoid consuming any hot food or beverages for the first 24 hours after treatment.
2. Avoid any heavy exercise or activities that require more power.
3. Smoking or drinking alcohol can damage the healing process, so it’s best to avoid it.
4. Do not wear dentures that cover the dental implants.
