In addition to following any aftercare recommendations by Dr. Kovacevic, there are a few
instructions to help guide you in the healing process following your procedure. You’ll want to:
Take extra care when brushing around the surgical site
Stick to a soft diet until the area is fully healed
Avoid using straws and spitting
Take over-the-counter pain relievers as prescribed
Use a cold compress to help with pain and swelling
Once the surgical site is fully healed, implant-supported dentures are easy to care for. You brush and floss them like your natural teeth, but be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Visit our office every six months for checkups and professional cleanings to help ensure the longevity of your new smile.
