Post-Operative Instructions for All-On-X

Congratulations on your All-on-X procedure! To ensure optimal healing and the best possible outcome, please carefully follow these post-operative guidelines:

Immediate Post-Operative Care:

Rest and limit physical activity for the first 24-48 hours.
Eat only soft, cool foods; avoid hot, spicy, or hard foods.
Do not disturb the surgical sites; avoid touching or probing with your fingers or tongue.
Keep your head elevated, especially when lying down, to minimize swelling.

Medications:

Take prescribed medications as directed, including antibiotics and pain relievers.
Use any recommended mouth rinses or oral hygiene products as instructed.
Contact us if you experience severe pain, swelling, or adverse reactions.

Oral Hygiene & Care:

Maintain good oral hygiene but be gentle around surgical sites.
Rinse gently with prescribed or saltwater solution 2-3 times daily, starting 24 hours after surgery.
Do not brush or floss around the surgical areas until advised by your clinician.

Swelling & Discomfort:

Swelling is normal and may peak 2-3 days post-surgery; use cold packs on the face for 15-minute intervals as needed.
Mild to moderate discomfort can be expected; if pain persists or worsens, contact us immediately.

Temporary Fixed Denture:

The temporary denture acts as a healing prosthesis; it may feel loose as swelling subsides.
Do not attempt to adjust or remove the temporary denture yourself.
Contact us if the denture becomes significantly loose or uncomfortable.

Follow-Up & Monitoring:

Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments (e.g., at 2 weeks post-surgery).
Inform us of any unusual symptoms such as excessive bleeding, persistent pain, fever, or signs of infection.

Important Notes:

Avoid smoking and alcohol during the healing period to promote proper osseointegration.
Maintain excellent oral hygiene to prevent infection.
Do not engage in strenuous activities or heavy lifting for at least a week.
