IMPLANT HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS

After implant placement, there may be slight pain and swelling at the implant site. These symptoms are normal and will go away within a week. You should:

Apply cold compress on your cheek (outside, not inside) corresponding to the implant placement site, for pain relief on the 1st day

On the 2nd and 3rd days, change to warm compress for alleviation of swelling

  • Avoid strenuous exercise until the implant site has completely healed
  • Begin the use of chlorhexidine mouthwash you’re given on the evening of the surgery as directed, only use maximum 2 weeks.
  • A little bit of bleeding is normal and can be stopped by applying a gauze
  • Do not pull or lift cheek and lips to look at the placement site
  • Do not touch the area with fingers or tongue
  • Drink only room temperature beverages and refrain from eating until the anesthetic has completely worn off
  • Keep food particles away from the implant placement site for as long as possible, rinse your mouth after eating
  • Refrain from brushing or flossing near the site for two days, then lightly do so until the implant site has healed, before returning to your regular oral hygiene routine
  • Take prescribed medications as directed
  • For placement of multiple implants, a liquid diet is necessary until the implant sites have healed for two days, followed by two weeks’ worth of soft food consumption
  • Do not chew using your implant crown
  • No drinking alcohol or smoking allowed until the site has completely healed (which could take up to 8 weeks)
  • Avoid sucking on a straw, as it will create more pressure in your mouth
  • Stitches will be removed generally after 2 weeks
  • Follow the home care guidelines after the stitches are removed (found below).
    If you experience excessive bleeding, big swelling, high fever … please contact our hospital immediately or return to the hospital for checkup. Please call hotline at +84914900016 or +84922253888.

After the site has healed and stitches have been removed (usually after 2 weeks), it’s essential that we ensure your implant integrates with the jawbone. To do so, there are several instructions to keep in mind:

  • Brush with a low-abrasive toothpaste. Do not use an electric toothbrush on the implant
  • Do not grind teeth, and use a mouth guard if you do
    Floss with dental floss, interdental brush, soft picks, rubber tip, or use a water flosser 1-2 times per day
  • If inflammation is present, use a rinse that is alcohol-free and anti-microbial
  • If you notice pain, swelling or bleeding, notify us immediately
  • Visit your dentist for check-up and cleaning every six months (please send us record of these visits so we have it for our file). To maintain long lasting results, it’s best that you come back for check-up and Xray at our hospital once a year as we have the right tools/technology for proper check-up and cleaning
  • Do not consume food/drink that is too hot, too hard, too chewy, too sticky.
  • If you have a temporary crown while you are waiting for your permanent crown, please do not chew food using that temporary crown as it is only there for appearance purpose and not for functionality purpose.
