Our process is designed to reduce delays and minimise discomfort, helping you get back to daily life quickly with a strong, functional smile. Here’s what you can expect from healing after treatment, and how our team supports you every step of the way.
What to Expect After Treatment
Thanks to our same-day treatment process, most patients leave our clinic with fixed provisional teeth and minimal discomfort. You’ll be given clear instructions to guide you through the first few days and weeks, along with contact details should you need advice.
Common post-treatment experiences include:
- Mild swelling or bruising
- Tenderness around the mouth
- A soft food diet for the first few months
Most patients manage any discomfort easily with over-the-counter pain relief and rest.
The First Few Days
For the first 72 hours:
- Rest and avoid strenuous activity
- Use cold compresses to manage swelling
- Eat only soft, cool foods (anything you can cut with a fork)
- Avoid hot drinks and alcohol
You can gently brush the prosthetic teeth and surrounding gums after the first 24 hours, using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Week 1: Settling In
By the end of the first week:
- Swelling typically begins to reduce
- Bruising, if present, starts to fade
- You can slowly return to your normal routine
Stick to a soft food diet and avoid anything too chewy or crunchy. Most patients feel noticeably more comfortable at this stage.
Week 2-4: Ongoing Recovery
During this time, healing continues below the surface as your implants integrate with the jaw. While you’re still wearing your temporary set of teeth, you’ll likely:
- Feel more confident with eating and speaking
- Resume light physical activity
- Introduce slightly firmer foods (e.g. soft vegetables, cooked fish)
Week 6: Review Appointment
You’ll return to your EvoDental clinic around six weeks after treatment for a review. This is when we check your healing progress and make any necessary adjustments.
If you’ve chosen Evo6 or Evo6+, you’ll receive your final prosthetic around 12–14 weeks after surgery. This is custom-designed and created in our on-site lab using advanced materials such as PMMA or zirconia.
Long-Term Healing
While you’ll be living normally with your fixed provisional teeth during this time, internal healing – particularly implant integration – continues over the following months. This process can take up to six months depending on the individual.
Routine maintenance appointments are recommended to ensure:
- The implants remain stable
- Soft tissues stay healthy
- The prosthesis is functioning correctly
Please note: follow-up maintenance appointments are not included in the cost of treatment and are chargeable. Your clinician will advise on the frequency based on your specific needs.
