The first days
Follow the prescribed instructions for medicines, bleeding care, rest and oral hygiene. Do not change prescribed medicines or add treatments without advice. Soreness and swelling can occur; the extent depends on the procedure. Contact the clinic if symptoms increase rather than improve or if the restoration feels unstable.
What to eat
Use the diet recommended for your implant and bridge during healing. Choose food that does not overload the teeth and avoid hard or sticky items until the surgeon allows them. Chewing comfort is not proof that unrestricted loading is safe. Ask for practical examples for your usual diet.
Cleaning the implants and teeth
The team shows how to brush and clean around implant emergence and beneath a bridge. Use the recommended brushes or other devices and the advised timing near surgical sites. A water flosser may be an adjunct when recommended; it does not automatically replace brushing or other cleaning.
