After dental implant surgery, it is recommended that you take at easy for
48-72 hours. Resting assists the healing process and limits after surgery
bleeding. Drink plenty of fluids, but nothing too cold. You may need to
apply an ice pack to your face in twenty-minute intervals for the 2 days
following surgery. If you received upper implants, do not blow your nose for
two weeks. It is common to experience slight bleeding for about two days
after surgery. You will feel slightly uncomfortable the first two days
following surgery, but the third day is generally better. An increase in
temperature of about 1 to 2 degrees is to be expected and is not a cause for
concern. Finally, while you can eat when you are hungry, do not chew
directly onto the bone graft.
