When you come to Calistoga Dental Group, our experienced dental team can provide important information on post-op care for dental implants. At our office in Calistoga, CA, we'll conduct an exam and take X-rays to allow us to inform you of what to expect from the implant procedure. We'll also ensure you know what's involved in recovery and things to avoid to speed up the process.

Here's a brief overview of what you need to be aware of about this treatment:
What Can Patients Eat after a Dental Implant?
At Calistoga Dental Group, we suggest you eat soft foods that are not overly hot or cold. Good choices are yogurt, cheese, ice cream, soup at a lukewarm temperature, and smoothies made from fruits. This way, you can get the necessary nutrition without straining your gums. Gradually we recommend adding regular food to your diet, but be sure to stay away from hard, sharp, or chewy items for a few days. For instance, opt for a hamburger without bacon or an omelet instead of waffles. As part of your recovery process, suitable modifications to your food habit can protect your gums from any potential harm.

When is the Right Time to Return to Work Post this Treatment?
A three to five-day recovery period post dental implants is common for patients. Therefore, we recommend having the procedure at the end of the week so you can take a few days off work and recover over the weekend. Generally, you should feel normal by Tuesday if you have the dental procedure on a Thursday. Besides, avoid scheduling important meetings or client appointments if you return to work earlier. Instead, focus on light work and email communication until you recover fully.
