Are you planning to get dental implants but are concerned about dental implant recovery? The dental implant replaces missing teeth with titanium posts. These dental replacements are fixed by our expert dentists in your jawbone. Many dental devices are connected by these implants. This includes fixed bridge, single dental crown, complete denture, or partial denture.
The dental implant procedure is slightly lengthy but it is worthwhile. The dental implant recovery period can differ from the individual and the particular surgery. It generally takes a week to see a significant amount of improvement in symptoms. Let’s go over the facts about the dental implant’s recovery process:
Did you know that the recovery and healing time is typically shorter than most people think? Yes, most major symptoms of surgery clear up within the first week of the surgery. In some cases, the recovery can take longer, depending upon how many teeth you had implanted.
Remember that when you will go home after the dental implant, you may experience mild bleeding from around the implant site; this is completely normal and should clear up within a few hours after the implant placement surgery. You may also feel slight pain related to swelling and drainage. This normally clears up after 2-3 days.
On the 3rd day of dental implant recovery time, most of the bruising will be gone. The pain should diminish substantially along with stiff jaw muscles. One of the facts about implant placement is that the sore tongue and throat, and dryness subside in 7days.
Dental implant recovery depends on the number of Implants Received
If you have got only one dental implant then the recovery time will be shorter than having a full implant surgery done. According to our implant experts, the number of implants plays a major role in determining the time it takes for recovery. An All-On-4 implant will take a longer time to recover than a single dental implant.
When a patient does not have enough bone for a dental implant then bone grafts are needed. Implanting the bone graft will extend recovery by a minimum of a few weeks. One of the popular facts about the bone graft is that most discomfort subsides within the next month or two depending upon the amount of bone graft.
Some facts that will help you in the recovery from the dental implant process are as follow:
Ice is a great pain reliever, especially if you find yourself suffering from any swelling. This helps to reduce inflammation, as well as assists in blocking local nerves from sending pain signals.
This is an important feature in maintaining a good healing process, so when you brush your teeth, make sure that you brush lightly and be very careful around the newly implanted teeth. Be very careful while brushing and avoid any risk of harm to healing tissue.

Avoiding acidic foods is a must when recovering from dental implant surgery. Also, avoid biting down on hard food to prevent any injury to the newly implanted tooth. Acidic foods may also irritate the tissue around newly implanted teeth, causing both pain and inflammation.
Antiseptic Mouthwash that contains menthol will help to clean the mouth of any bacteria, and also give a cooling effect. If you just had dental implant surgery then this could be very helpful, when inflammation is at its highest.
