Dental Implants in Williamsville NY
Caring for Dental Implants in Erie County
Dental implants not only restore the appearance of a complete smile but also function just like natural teeth, allowing individuals to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. Their long-term success, reliability, and ability to preserve oral health make them a popular choice for individuals seeking a permanent solution for tooth loss. Whether replacing a single tooth or an entire set, dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry by providing patients with a life-changing and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Post Dental Implant Instructions
A dental implant, either endosteal or submersible, has been placed in your mouth based on available bone. Healing takes two to four months, depending on your body's healing and the implant type. If sedatives were used, refrain from driving that day. Non-dissolving sutures, if present, are removed in 1 to 2 weeks. Your doctor will advise on using your current partial denture or flipper, emphasizing the importance of not applying pressure to the implant during initial healing. Keep the surgical site clean to ensure a successful recovery.
Instructions For Your Mouth After Surgery
NO SMOKING! Smoking is to be avoided for the time period specified by Drs. Nigalye or Bryan. Smoking decreases the blood supply in the surgical site and significantly lowers the body’s ability to heal the site.
Do not use alcohol-based mouth rinses or peroxide rinses. Gentle rinsing of the mouth should be started the day after the surgery. Frequent gentle rinsing with lukewarm salt water will aid the healing process (add one-half teaspoon of salt to a 6 oz. glass of water). Avoid the use of a Waterpik® toothbrush. You may brush your teeth using a soft toothbrush. Do not brush the surgical site but you may gently brush the teeth around the surgical site.
Antibiotics: If an appropriate antibiotic has been prescribed for you, it is very important that the prescription is filled and taken as directed. Please take the tablets/ capsules until all are used. Should you develop hives, itching, skin rash or difficulty breathing, stop the medication and call the doctor immediately.
Pain: Most implant pain is well managed by an over-the-counter pain medication. If a pain medication has been prescribed to you, please take it according to the directions. It is advised that you not drive while taking a narcotic pain medication. Please be warned that some narcotic pain medications have an addictive or habit forming potential. To limit your risk to this you may alternate the narcotic pain medication with plain, over-the-counter Tylenol (Acetaminophen). Do not however take both the narcotic pain medication and Tylenol together as the narcotic pain medication may already contain the active ingredient in Tylenol which may cause an unsafe overdose of Tylenol.
