Dental implants are one of the options patients can choose to replace missing teeth, during a full mouth reconstruction. Installing dental implants requires an oral surgeon to surgically place the restoration into the patient's jawbone and that takes some time to recover from.
Each patient's recovery time varies based on factors like how well the procedure went, the number of implants inserted into the patient's jaw, how the patient's body reacts to the implant and how well the patient takes care of themselves after the surgery.
It is normal to experience some bleeding, soreness, swelling and discomfort after getting implants as part of a full mouth reconstruction. These symptoms can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers and they should subside within five to seven days.
Let us take a closer look at some of the factors that can affect a patient's recovery after getting dental implants:
If everything goes smoothly during the patient's oral surgery, the patient's recovery period will be about a week. The implant will still need more time for osseointegration, but the area around the implant should no longer be sore.
Simple things patients can do to speed up their recovery after the installation of implants include:
Once recovery and osseointegration are both complete, the patient can expect to have a healthy mouth. Oral health almost always improves once a full mouth reconstruction is complete. With good oral health also comes an improved appearance.
