For patient convenience, both surgical and restorative follow-up should be scheduled on the same day.
The surgeon will conduct a standard surgical follow-up to evaluate the patient's implants and oral health.
Approximate Chair Time: 15 minutes
SURGICAL FOLLOW UP
The restorative doctor will evaluate the patient's occlusion, making any necessary adjustments to avoid excessive stress on any one area of the denture and implants.
Make sure that the denture is not applying pressure on any of the implants. If the patient complains of pressure on the implants, relieve the area right away. As the patient heals, you might be required to reline the denture from time to time with a soft reline material.
