Post Mini Dental Implants Treatment Care: Ensuring Long-Term Success

Proper aftercare is essential for the longevity and success of your mini dental implants at London Dental Specialists. Following your procedure, our team provides comprehensive guidance to help you maintain your new smile and ensure optimal healing.

Immediate Aftercare (First 48 Hours)

• Gentle Oral Hygiene: Clean around implant sites carefully using a soft-bristled toothbrush.

• Medication Management: Take prescribed antibiotics and pain relief as directed.


• Soft Diet: Consume only soft foods and avoid chewing near the implant sites.


• Rest: Limit physical activity to promote healing and reduce discomfort.

First Week Recovery

During the initial healing phase:

• Regular Check-ups: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor implant integration.
