Dental Implant Aftercare

After your implant surgery, you’ll be monitored by our surgical team until it’s safe to leave with your caregiver. Your dental team will provide clear aftercare instructions, along with video resources and written materials you can reference at home. You’ll also receive the Capital Smile™ comfort and care kit, a curated set of recovery essentials that may include gauze, an ice pack, oral-care tools, and other comfort items to support healing after surgery.

Because we want to make sure you feel informed, supported, and confident in your care, we provide direct access to your doctor for any questions that may arise once you return home.

• It’s normal to experience some swelling and discomfort after the procedure. To manage this, take any prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication as directed. An ice pack can also help reduce swelling. Apply it to the outside of your cheek for the first 24 hours, using a cycle of 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off to help minimize inflammation.
• For the first 48 hours, try to avoid rinsing your mouth vigorously. This gives the surgical site time to begin healing. After the initial 48 hours, you can gently rinse with warm salt water to help keep the area clean. This can promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.
• Only eat soft foods for the first few days, such as yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, or soup. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods, as they may irritate the implant site or become lodged in the area.
• When brushing your teeth, it’s important to keep your mouth clean but be gentle around the implant site. For the first few days, brush the rest of your teeth as normal while avoiding direct or aggressive contact with the surgical area.
• If you had bone grafting performed along with your implant placement, you should avoid using any mouthwash other than warm salt water until instructed otherwise by your doctor. Some antimicrobial mouthwashes can inhibit the formation of new bone.
• Rest is essential for proper healing. Make sure you get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activities that could interfere with the recovery process.
• If you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection such as increased swelling, fever, or unusual discharge, please contact our office right away.
