Relax

The bleeding can be controlled, and your overall recovery hastened, if you relax and avoid strenuous activities right after the implant surgery.

Manage pain with prescribed medications

Stick to soft diet and liquids

Stick to a soft diet and liquids in the days immediately following the implant placement. Avoid using the area where the implant is located for chewing, for the first week after the surgery.

Maintain good oral hygiene

warm saltwater

Clean your mouth by very gently swishing (not gargling) a warm saltwater rinse. You can brush the rest of your teeth, and avoid the area where the implant is placed.
