Post Blade Implants Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for the long-term success of your blade implants at London Dental Specialists. Following your procedure, we provide comprehensive support and guidance to ensure optimal healing and integration of your new implants.

Immediate Post-Operative Care

• First 24-48 Hours: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and take prescribed pain medication as directed


• Diet: Consume soft foods and liquids while avoiding the surgical site

First Week After Blade Implant Surgery

During this critical healing period, we recommend:

• Medication Management: Complete your course of antibiotics to prevent infection


• Oral Care: Begin gentle brushing around the implant site using a soft-bristled toothbrush


• Diet Progression: Gradually introduce firmer foods as comfort allows


• Smoking Cessation: Avoid smoking completely as it significantly impairs healing

3. X-ray Assessment: Periodic radiographic evaluation to check bone levels around your blade implants
