All-on-4® Implants Post-Op Instructions

After receiving All-on-4 implant-supported dentures, you need to do several things to ensure that you can enjoy the benefits of your renewed smile. We will provide you with post-op instructions to help you heal and recover so that you can return to your regular daily activities.

Here are a few things you should do after receiving All-on-4 implant-supported dentures:

1. Clean your All-On-4 Implants with a Waterpik and gentle brushing.
Oral hygiene is crucial to the success of your All-on-4 implants. Starting the day after surgery, clean gently but thoroughly after each meal. It is highly recommended that you use a Waterpik as it can irrigate beneath the denture to flush out any debris.

2. Watch your bite.
If your bite is heavy in one area, it may indicate problems. Please contact our office and make an appointment with our dentist.

3. Eat a soft diet.
For the first six weeks after surgery, chew only very soft foods. Some soft foods include Jell-O, pudding, yogurt, ice cream, smoothies, protein shakes, milkshakes, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, soups, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, applesauce, and pancakes.

4. Avoid exercise for the first 48 hours after treatment.
Rest and avoid physical activity for two days. After the first 48 hours, you may resume your regular activities as you can tolerate them.

Please contact our office with any concerns or questions during your recovery period. We are here to help you and will happily schedule follow-up visits with Dr. Muir or Dr. Townsend.
