If you are planning to have a dental implant, it is important to know what entails the recovery process to be able to plan ahead. A dental implant is recommended for patients who have missing or damaged tooth. You might also be a candidate for an implant if you are having a tooth extraction, and the dentists recommends that you get an implant. A dental implant has several benefits such as improving your smile, safeguarding the empty socket left by an extracted or missing tooth, and also strengths the surrounding teeth. Dental implants are performed by our dentists and it is important to consult with our specialists to understand the nature of the recovery process.
The recovery time is different for each patient
The time it takes to fully recover from a dental implant will depend on the type of treatment procedure you will receive. For instance, for a single dental implant, the recovery time will be shorter as compared to a full dental implant surgery done. If you have an All-On-4 treatment, you can expect a few months for full recovery. A single dental implant can take only a few days for full recovery.
You can also expect a longer recovery time if you require a bone graft before your implant surgery. You will require a one graft if your jaw bone shows weaknesses and can therefore not support the associated stress that comes with implants. You will therefore need more time for the graft to heal and integrate with your bone tissues before you get your dental implants and this will lead to a longer recovery time from you operation.
You will feel some minor discomfort after the surgery
You are likely to experience some discomfort such as minor bleeding, pain at the dental implant area, bruising on the gums and skin and minor swelling on the gums. These are minor issues and should go away after a short time.
