The first couple of weeks after your dental implant procedure are crucial to the overall success of the treatment. Your dentist will provide you with post-op instructions that should be carefully followed during your recovery. Post-op instructions include limiting your diet to soft foods and liquids, avoiding smoking and drinking alcohol, and rinsing your mouth with warm salt water after meals.
Once you’ve fully healed, your implants can be cared for just like natural teeth. You don’t need any special tools or products to maintain your restoration. Make sure to brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit our Archdale, NC dental office twice a year for regular checkups.
