One of the things we hear from our Rohnert Park, CA patients is not so much that they are concerned about the placement of their implants as much as they are concerned about the recovery that follows. Of course, your goal is to be able to swiftly and successful heal, so you’re consistently and safely headed toward your goal of a complete smile, and so you can ensure receiving dental implants is as minimally disruptive to your daily life as possible. Fortunately, highlighting the details that will help you remain certain you’re keeping your smile on track is easy to do!
Following Instructions
We understand. You hear us talk about being careful after dental implant placement, ensuring you don’t end up with dry socket, and not even brushing the site for a day, and you feel overwhelmed. How on earth are you going to know what to do and how to remember all of the essential details? Fortunately, as you might have guessed, we are quite serious about providing our patients with the thorough and very easy to follow instructions that they need for post-treatment recovery! You’ll go home with all of the details you need.
No, Really: Following Our Instructions!
As mentioned, you will head home with thorough instructions. With that said, we remind you that once you have headed home from your dental implant placement, it is absolutely key that you follow through on every single suggestion we make. In order to enjoy the swift, successful recovery you’re concerned about, you don’t want to start making up your own ideas about things. Sure, it might seem like you’re healing super fast and that you can skip or change some of our directions … but we don’t suggest it! Follow the guidelines and you’ll have a wonderful experience.
Creating An Optimal Healing Environment
One of the primary issues involved with healing and recovery that’s either quick and successful or somewhat slower and not-so-successful is creating an environment that promotes healing (and limits the possibility of infection). This means keeping your mouth clean, avoiding smoking and all tobacco products, getting enough rest, and again, keeping our instructions by your side.

Of course, remembering to call our team if you have any concerns or questions whatsoever is key to enjoying a speedy recovery with your dental implants. Don’t feel as though you should be able to figure things out on your own if you need help. Instead, give us a call for quick, accurate information!
