Post-Operative Care Pennsylvania Perio & Implants
At Pennsylvania Perio & Implants, we utilize advanced techniques including photobiomodulation therapy and recombinant biologics to enhance your healing process and reduce post-operative discomfort. Dr. Sourvanos and our experienced team will provide you with detailed, personalized instructions based on your specific procedure, ensuring you have everything needed for a smooth recovery while maintaining the highest standards of care.
Preparing for Recovery
Plan ahead by arranging for rest time and having soft foods available to support your healing process.
- Pain Management: Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we use a customized combination of over-the-counter analgesics and anti-inflammatory options, paired with non-medication measures such as cold therapy and rest. Your exact plan will be personalized to your procedure and medical history.
- Oral Care: Keep the area clean without disturbing the surgical site. Rinse gently as directed and avoid brushing or flossing directly on the site until we let you know it’s safe to resume.
- Eating and Hydration: Choose soft, cool foods and plenty of fluids. Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or hard-to-chew items until you’re comfortable and cleared to return to your usual diet.
- Activity and Rest: Take it easy for the first few days. Limit physical exertion and strenuous exercise, then gradually resume normal activities as you feel ready and advised by our team.
What to Expect During Recovery
Most patients experience mild discomfort and swelling that peaks within 48-72 hours and gradually subsides over the following week. Our advanced healing protocols help accelerate recovery and minimize complications, allowing you to return to normal activities more quickly than traditional treatment methods.
