What to Expect after Implant Surgery
Most people find recovery after implant surgery very straightforward and experience minimal discomfort. If you only had a single dental implant you’ll almost certainly be able to return to work the next day. Our dental team at Maroubra Junction Dental Centre will provide lots of information and advice on how to care for the implant site during healing. It’s best to avoid biting or chewing near the surgery site for the first few days. You will still need to clean the rest of your teeth but should avoid the surgery site for the first couple of days. Instead this area can be kept clean with an antimicrobial mouthwash.
Caring for Your Implant
Once treatment is completed, it’s vital that you keep your implant thoroughly clean as the tissues around the implant post can still become infected. Regular check-ups combined with hygiene appointments will help keep your implant healthy and strong.
