💬 Congratulations on your new smile!
Dental implants are one of the most effective and natural-looking solutions for replacing missing teeth. However, the success of your implant depends greatly on how well you care for it afterward.
At Agagsia Dental, our specialists have prepared 7 golden rules to help you achieve a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
1️⃣ Be Careful During the First 24 Hours
In the first day after surgery, avoid touching the implant area or rinsing your mouth forcefully. Stick to soft, lukewarm or cool foods and allow your mouth to rest.
2️⃣ Maintain Proper Oral Hygiene
Keep your mouth clean but be gentle around the surgery site. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and the antiseptic mouthwash recommended by your dentist to prevent infection.
3️⃣ Avoid Smoking and Alcohol
Smoking delays healing and negatively affects the process of the implant bonding with the bone (osseointegration). Stay away from smoking and alcohol for at least two weeks.
4️⃣ Watch What You Eat
Avoid hot and hard foods for the first few days. Choose soft options like soups, yogurt, and mashed foods. Hard or crunchy foods can put pressure on the implant site.
5️⃣ Don’t Panic About Mild Pain or Swelling
Slight pain or swelling within the first couple of days is completely normal. Use the painkillers prescribed by your doctor and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
6️⃣ Attend Your Follow-Up Appointments
Healing time varies from person to person. Regular check-ups at Agagsia Dental ensure your implant is healing properly and integrating with the bone as expected.
7️⃣ Continue Long-Term Care
Just like natural teeth, implants require daily care. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleaning help maintain your implant’s longevity and your overall oral health.
🌿 Final Note: A Healthy Smile Starts with Proper Care
The success of your dental implant doesn’t end with the procedure — it continues with your daily habits and attention.
At Agagsia Dental, we’re with you every step of the way.
Smile confidently with your new, healthy smile! ✨
