How Long is the Recovery Process for Implants?

There are various reasons you may decide to get dental implants. You could become self-conscious while speaking or smiling when you lose a tooth or multiple teeth. ComfortCare Dental’s dental implants help patients look better, feel better about themselves, feel more comfortable, and find it simpler to chew and communicate.
Dental implants must be fitted surgically, as with other surgeries, and the healing process must be allowed time after that. Several variables will affect how long healing will take. The first thing you should do is contact Kenneth L. Chung, DDS, MPH to give a free consultation to discuss the issue.
What is the Recovery Process for Implants?
The amount of time it takes for a dental implant to recover is based on the kind of surgery needed (such as tooth extractions or grafting) and your general oral health, including how many teeth you had removed and placed (full, multiple, or a single tooth implant). Early healing might take seven to 10 days, based on the quality and size of the dental implants, but in three to six months, the tooth implant will have wholly integrated with the bone and be prepared for your treatment's restoration phase.
Your personal lifestyle choices may considerably impact the dental implant's recovery period. Cigarettes, for instance, may cause issues with the rejection of implants, as well as prolong recovery time and harm the overall healing process.
What Medications Are Recommend After Getting Multiple Tooth Implants?
Even though it is considered surgery, dental implantation is a simple medical operation. Its recuperation period is hence relatively rapid. Patients usually need to take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen after the surgery if they experience discomfort. Before returning to their regular daily routines, patients often need to have their stitches removed two weeks after surgery.
What Foods To Eat Post Surgery
Eat carefully and try not to disrupt the clot as it is healing the sores in the mouth. So, wherever possible, stay away from alcohol, carbonated drinks, and drinking from a straw. For the first few days, it may be challenging to eat or chew properly since it can hurt on the surgical site, but you can still consume soft foods, such as:
Beans, whether baked or boiled, are a fantastic protein source.
Bananas are a good source of minerals and vitamins and make you feel full.
Avocados are a good, healthy fat.
The necessary omega fats in fish can aid your recovery.
Drink as many fluids as possible; choose healthy juices and beverages.
Foods that are highly chewy, hard, spicy, or cold should be avoided. ComfortCare Dental are experts when it comes to dental implants. Call us at (503)653-8320 to book your appointment.
