• Beverages: Avoid coffee, black tea, alcohol, and smoking for at least 48 hours.
• Travel: Do not drive immediately after the operation. Arrange for a pickup or use our VIP driving service.
• Swelling Management: Expect cheek and chin swelling. Use a cloth-wrapped cold compress intermittently for relief.
  Avoid direct skin contact with ice packs.

• Physical Activity: Avoid direct heat, sunlight, and strenuous physical activity. Refrain from sports for 6-8 weeks. Keep your head elevated.
• Diet: Consume only liquids or soft foods for the first few days post-operation. Dairy products should be minimised.
• Oral Hygiene: Gently rinse with chlorhexidine solution twice daily starting from the third day. Use a soft manual toothbrush around the implant area. Avoid vigorous cleaning at the implant site until sutures are dissolved (or removed).

• Dental Appliances Usage: Avoid using oral irrigators or electric toothbrushes in the implant area during the healing phase.
• Eating Habits: Refrain from biting or chewing directly on the implant sites during healing.
• Suture Care: Avoid poking the operation area with your tongue or fingers. Allow sutures to heal undisturbed.

• Understanding Fragility: Your temporary bridgework, while functional and aesthetic, is not as durable as your final prosthetics. It’s crucial to remember that these are provisional solutions, primarily in place to aid the healing process.

• Gentle Usage: Handle your temporary bridgework with extreme care. Avoid applying any significant pressure or force. This means being cautious with your food choices and eating habits. Opt for softer foods and avoid chewing directly on the temporary bridgework.
• Oral Hygiene: Maintain a rigorous but gentle oral hygiene routine. Brush softly around the bridgework and avoid using aggressive cleaning techniques that might dislodge or damage them.
• Avoiding Complications: Proper care of your temporary bridgework is not just about maintaining its integrity; it’s also about ensuring a smooth and trouble-free healing process for your implants. By minimising stress on these areas, you’re contributing to a more successful integration of your implants.

• Patience Pays Off: Remember, the temporary phase is just that – temporary. By nurturing your temporary bridgework, you’re paving the way for a successful transition to your final, more durable prosthetics. A little patience and care during this period can lead to long-term benefits and a smoother overall healing process.

Note: Always follow the specific advice of your dental surgeon regarding the care of your temporary bridgework.
