What to do before surgery:
Please, inform about all diseases and medicine consumption our specialist! Regularly taking medicines take according to the discussed! On the day of surgery don’t arrive with empty stomach! Eat as usual! Bing someone, because we don’t suggest that you go alone after the surgery!
What to do after the implantation:
- We carry out the implantation surgery under local anesthesia; don’t eat while the anesthesia lasts, because you can easy bite your tongue, lip, mucosa. The effect of the anesthesia lasts 2-3 hours after the surgery.
- If the implantation happened under narcosis, then you spend 5-6 hours in our clinic in a special room. The observation happens with a specialist.
- After the surgery a few hours don’t drive!
- If pain occurs, take painkiller.
- After the intervention for 1-2 days avoid the hard physical work, sport, sauna visit, because these activities can cause postoperative bleeding.
- The surgical area can be swollen; therefore ice the outside area more times a day for 10-10 minutes.
- After the day of the surgery talk as little as possible.
- Do not chew on the implant site, and avoid the consumption of hard and chewy foods, e.g. hard bread, chewy meat, crunchy vegetables, nuts, etc!
- On the surgery day avoid the strong mouthwash, after meal do only a light rinse!
- Don’t suck, because it can cause postoperative bleeding.
- Try not bite on the surgical site!
- Don’t touch the surgical area neither with fingers nor tongue.
- It is suggested to avoid the smoking, coffee and alcohol consumption for 3 days after the surgery.
- For a few days avoid the spicy, hot foods!
- Take the prescribed medicines according to the instructions.
- Come to stitch removal at the scheduled time!
- Very important to take special care to the oral hygiene! The regular, careful oral hygiene is one of the most important conditions of a successful implantation.
- The stitches must remain in the mouth for minimum 5 days after the implantation. If the stitch gets loose or falls out, immediately visit our specialist!
The care of the implantation tooth replacement:
The implant tooth replacements are a long-term solution for the treatment of missing teeth, but for this purpose, special attention should be paid to the oral hygiene. Do not neglect the tooth brushing; brush your teeth after every meal if possible, but at least in the morning and in the evening! Complete the dental cleaning - depending on the type of dental work – with special cleaning devices (flossing, tooth brush)! Our dentist after the handover of restoration explains and shows you the proper dental care techniques.
With proper oral hygiene the inflammation around the implant can be prevented. It is important to avoid the inflammation, because they in advanced cases can spread to the implant lasting bone which leads to the loss of implant. As a result of poor oral hygiene, plaque and dental calculus can subside to the implantation restoration (like by natural teeth). The bacteria in plaque can cause periodontal disease whereupon the implant may loosen. This endangers the functioning of the implants, this may lead to loss.
In order to the more perfect functioning of the implantation restoration we suggest 6-12 monthly control.
