During the first 48–72 hours, it is important to give your body the time it needs to recover. You should avoid intense physical exertion, sports, weightlifting, and situations that could significantly increase your blood pressure and heart rate.

For the first few days, stick to a soft, cool diet. It is essential to avoid hard, crunchy foods or those that require vigorous chewing.

Even though the prosthesis is fixed, it should not be subjected to excessive force. For the first three months, you should avoid very hard foods to protect the implants during the osseointegration phase.

In the first few hours, you may notice slight bleeding or pink-tinged saliva. It is important to avoid rinsing your mouth for the first 24 hours.

If bleeding occurs, apply firm pressure to the area with a clean, slightly dampened handkerchief for at least 20 consecutive minutes, without checking on it during that time.

During the first 24 hours, you may brush your teeth away from the surgical site using only water and a manual toothbrush, without toothpaste. Avoid rinsing your mouth.

In the days that follow, begin very gentle rinses with undiluted 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash twice a day for 30 seconds. You may begin gently cleaning your dentures with a toothbrush and toothpaste, taking care to avoid the recently operated tissues.

Starting at 7–10 days, you can begin very gentle brushing, even near the areas that were treated.

As the swelling subsides, it is normal for a gap to form between the gums and the dentures; this gap must be kept clean with care.

Over time, electric toothbrushes, interdental brushes, dental floss, and water flossers will be gradually introduced—all of which are necessary for the procedure to be successful.

It is essential to avoid traction, compression, and excessive stress on the surgical site and the prosthesis.

Do not pull on the lips or cheeks, do not apply pressure from the outside, and do not subject the prosthesis to excessive stress.

In the first few days and weeks, the appearance of the gums can vary significantly.

Tissue healing and maturation occur gradually over time and take about 2 months for the gums and 3 to 6 months for the bone surrounding the implants.

The sutures are absorbable and dissolve on their own over the course of about a month.

Appropriate, personalized medication can effectively control swelling and pain during the postoperative period. Strictly following this treatment plan is essential to ensure a high level of comfort, optimal healing, and a low risk of infection.
