Whether you are based in East Melbourne or visiting us from nearby Richmond or Fitzroy, Dr Leighton Phu and our team are here to guide you through your recovery. At our Jolimont Road clinic, we focus on providing evidence-based care tailored to your unique healing needs.
Our Post-Operative Approach
The Initial Healing Phase
During the first week after surgery, prioritize rest while managing discomfort with the prescribed medication. This is the most critical time for your initial recovery.
The Diet and Integration Period
Following the first week of healing, it is essential to follow a strict soft diet. This nutritional approach must be maintained until the implants are completely integrated into the jaw, which typically occurs at the three-month mark.
Returning to Normal Function
Once the three-month integration period is complete, you should feel comfortable returning to your normal eating and chewing habits. Please remember that healing times can vary for every individual. If you have concerns or questions specific to your situation, please do not hesitate to contact our team for personalized advice.
We invite you to experience dedicated care at our East Melbourne practice. To discuss your needs, please call us on (03) 8820 1699 or book an appointment online today.
