The first day
Instructions from the treating dentist about bleeding control, eating, rinsing and prescribed medication take priority. Avoid disturbing the surgical site. Smoking and tobacco can impair healing and should be discussed with the clinician.
Cleaning during and after healing
The timing and method of brushing near the surgical area depend on the procedure. After the final restoration, interdental brushes, floss or an oral irrigator may be recommended according to the design and access beneath the restoration.
Reviews and warning signs
Professional reviews assess the gums, hygiene, bite and restoration connections, not only whether the implant feels stable. Bleeding, swelling, unpleasant taste, mobility or new discomfort should be reported rather than waiting for a routine visit.
