LE BLANC DENTAL CLINIC

Implant Care Instructions

  • Hard or chewy foods should be avoided as they can damage the implant or prosthesis. It is advised to cut food into small pieces if possible.

  • In some cases, the implant prosthesis is not permanently fixed for treatment reasons, so if it comes loose, do not be alarmed. Call and visit the clinic for a resolution.

  • Since the implant replaces a tooth that has not been used for a long time, discomfort in the adjacent teeth may be experienced. It is advised to avoid hard foods and mention any discomfort during your next visit.

  • Health Status

    Individuals with systemic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes or other medical histories must consult with a specialist and undergo relevant tests to ensure there are no issues with proceeding with the surgery.

    Those allergic to certain medications must have a mandatory consultation.

    If you are on medication, consult a specialist about whether to continue or discontinue it before the procedure.

  • On the Day of Surgery

    The area around the surgery site will be disinfected to prevent infection. Women are advised to avoid heavy makeup, and men should shave before coming to the clinic.

    It is best to avoid driving yourself and use public transportation instead; accompanied by a guardian is recommended.

    Ensure you have had enough rest and sleep before the surgery and wear comfortable clothing when you come to the clinic.

  • After Surgery

    For about a week after the surgery, it is advisable to eat soft foods (like porridge) to avoid irritating the wound area, allowing it to heal quickly.

    For a year after the prosthesis is completed, avoiding hard and chewy foods is best as the gum bones are stabilizing.

    Avoid using straws until the surgical area has healed, as it can cause the wound to open.

  • Hygiene

    Inflammation around the gums due to plaque or tartar can shorten the lifespan of the prosthesis, so always keep it clean using hygiene aids.

    When using interdental brushes, be cautious and use a mirror to prevent bleeding and inflammation.

    Natural movement of the surrounding teeth may create small spaces where food can get stuck, but it's best not to use toothpicks.
