How much do you know about dental implants?
When it comes to "dental implants," many people are surely familiar with the term. So today let's take a detailed look at the common questions about dental implants.
1. The essential post-surgery care guide for implant surgery!
● On the day of surgery, the patient should eat a semi-liquid or fully liquid diet.
● Do not brush your teeth within 24 hours after surgery to avoid irritating the wound.
● For three days after surgery, please avoid excessive exercise, fatigue, saunas and soaking baths.
● For 2-3 days after surgery, please use mouthwash, and do not brush the treated area.
● No smoking or alcohol for two weeks after surgery.
● Within 3 months after surgery, it is not advisable to eat foods that are too hard or too tough.
● Observe the condition of the implant and the wound at all times, and seek medical attention promptly if any problems are found.
● Develop good oral hygiene habits. Rinse your mouth promptly after meals to avoid infection.
● Clean the implant abutment once in the morning and once in the evening with a soft-bristled toothbrush or a cotton strip.
● Get regular teeth cleanings, regular follow-up visits, and maintenance.
2. Will it be uncomfortable during the implant surgery?
Modern anesthesia techniques and good post-operative care measures can minimize the patient's discomfort. Basically, the discomfort of implant placement surgery is even a little milder than that of a tooth extraction, and the wound in the mouth can heal in about 10 days after surgery. During the healing period, you need to keep the wound area clean and avoid chewing hard objects.
3. Are dental implants as strong and durable as real teeth?
Research shows that many dental implants are actually more stable than real teeth. Because dental implants are deeply embedded in the alveolar bone, they can withstand normal chewing forces. Compared with removable dentures, dental implants achieve 100% restoration of chewing efficiency. As long as you maintain good oral hygiene and get regular checkups, artificial implants can even last longer than real teeth.
