I am considering getting dental implants but I want to know as much about the whole process as possible. After dental implant surgery, how will I feel\/what should I expect? \u2013 Kent<\/p>\n

Kent \u2013 After your dental implant surgery<\/a>, for 24 to 48 hours, you may experience minor bleeding around the implant site. You will be instructed not to sip through a straw, spit, or rinse your mouth, because these actions can increase bleeding. \u00a0But you should stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. You should avoid physical exertion, which can result in more bleeding.<\/p>\n

Your gums and face may be swollen after surgery, and your jaw muscles may feel tight. You may notice bruising on your face and gums. Slight elevation of your body temperature may occur. It is persists, notify your implant surgeon.<\/p>\n

Antibiotics may be prescribed. Depending on the complexity of the surgery and the level of pain anticipated, you may also receive a prescription for pain medication. Many patients are comfortable with over-the-counter pain reliever.<\/p>\n

It may be recommended that you eat soft foods during the initial phase of healing, which can last up to two weeks. \u00a0During the entire healing period, avoid foods such as nuts, seeds, or popcorn, which can get lodged between your teeth and gums. The sticthes at the implant site should dissolve within two weeks or less.<\/p>\n

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to the healing process. Tobacco use should be avoided, because it interferes with the healing process.<\/p>\n

We recommend that you have a few consultations with experienced implant dentists. The consultation will allow you to ask questions about the procedure, and the implant surgeon\u2019s credentials and experience.<\/p>\n
