Additional Post-surgical instructions

For Dental Implant Procedures

Taking care of yourself after dental implant surgery is similar to that after tooth extraction.

Additional instructions for care after dental implant surgery are the following:

1.  Avoid chewing on or placing a removable dental appliance on the site of surgery

2.  Avoid using mouth rinses that contain alcohol or hydrogen peroxide

3.  Avoid toothpaste that contains whitening agents

4.  Clean any exposed implant component with a soft toothbrush or cotton-tipped applicator with a light amount of force

5.  After the gum has completely healed, consider using a water jet device (i.e. Waterpik®) to clean your teeth and/or dental crowns and bridges


6.    When  you  have  temporary teeth  that  are  on  new  dental  implants  just  placed,  do  not chew  anything that  you can  not  crash  with a  plastic fork

For Surgery Involving the Sinuses

If you were informed that the sinus was involved in the surgery, follow the instructions below.  In addition, see instructions contained in the links above for dental extractions.

1.  Avoid blowing your nose

2.  If you have to sneeze, do so with your mouth open

3.  If your nose or sinus is congested, call our office and consider taking an over-the-counter sinus decongestant
