Understanding Pain and Healing

‍

Following dental implant surgery, the body initiates a natural healing process. During this time, experiencing some level of discomfort is a normal response. However, it's important to remember that pain is subjective, and at Nuvia, we believe in listening to and validating your personal experience. Rest assured, we are dedicated to managing and minimizing any discomfort with the utmost professionalism.

Nuvia's Approach to Minimizing Discomfort

‍

Our focus at Nuvia is singular: delivering permanent teeth in just 24 hours. This dedicated practice allows our team to focus on delivering precise and minimally invasive procedures. By concentrating solely on this revolutionary dental service, our professionals have honed their skills, contributing to streamlined surgeries, and as a result, often minimal discomfort after the surgery.

Post-Procedure Pain Management Techniques

‍

To ensure your recovery is as comfortable as possible, Nuvia suggests several effective pain management strategies:

‍

1. Cold Compresses:

‍

A simple yet effective method to manage pain is the application of cold compresses. We recommend using a bag of frozen peas or a gel ice pack, whatever you have on hand. Applying it for 20 minutes on, followed by a 20-minute break. This cycle can significantly reduce swelling and discomfort, particularly in the first few days after your procedure.

‍

‍

2. Head Elevation:

‍

We advise sleeping with your head elevated above your heart to prevent blood from pooling in the surgery area, which can contribute to swelling and bruising. Whether you prop up with extra pillows or use a recliner, this practice can be beneficial in reducing post-surgical discomfort. Remember: head above heart and you are good.

‍

3. Customized Medication Regimen:

‍

Pain relief is not one-size-fits-all, which is why we will help you create a tailored post-procedure medication plan. Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen are often recommended for their anti-inflammatory properties, but depending on individual needs, our doctors may also prescribe antibiotics and pain medication to aid your recovery.

‍

Professional Care and Ongoing Support

‍

At Nuvia, we don’t just perform a procedure and send you on your way. We offer complete post-operative care, including scheduled follow-ups to monitor your healing process. Our team is prepared to adjust your pain management plan if necessary, ensuring your recovery is as comfortable as possible.

Your Role in Recovery

Resting adequately, staying hydrated, and following the post-care instructions given by our team will significantly contribute to your comfort and the success of your recovery.
