What Is the Recovery Time After a Dental Implant?
The recovery time after a dental implant operation largely depends on the type of implants that you will receive. For instance, if you receive an implant for one or two missing teeth, the recovery time will significantly shorter as compared to if you receive an all-on-4 dental implant. With a single implant, the recovery time can take only a few days or a maximum of a week.
The recovery time will also depend on whether you received a bone graft before the implant. If there was a bone graft operation, the recovery can take a bit longer because of the healing that needs to take place for complete recovery.
Will I Have to Avoid Some Foods?
During the recovery time, our dentist will advise against eating some type of food to give you the best chance of healing. These include acidic drinks and foods that can irritate your wound in gum. It will also be important to avoid hard foods to give the implants the best chance of healing and remaining firm.
