What to expect before, during, and after the Dental implants procedure?
Before the procedure:
- You will have a consultation with your dentist or oral surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns.
- Pre-surgery instructions may include avoiding certain medications and arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure if sedation is used.
- You may need dental X-rays or 3D imaging to plan the placement of the implants.
During the procedure:
- The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, but sedation or general anaesthesia may be used depending on the case.
- The surgeon will make an incision in the gum to expose the jawbone.
- Titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots.
- The gum is then closed over the posts, and a temporary crown may be placed.
After the procedure:
- You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which should gradually improve over the first few days.
- Follow your dentist’s instructions on how to care for your mouth and manage any discomfort.
- Use prescribed medications and avoid strenuous activities to aid in the healing process.
- The jawbone will need time to fuse with the implants, a process called osseointegration, which can take several months.
- Once the implants are fully integrated, permanent crowns will be placed to complete the restoration.
Recovery After Your Surgery
Here’s what to expect as your new implant settles in:
First Week
You’ll head home the same day as your procedure. Your mouth will feel tender, and there might be some swelling – ice packs help a lot. Soft, cool foods are your friends right now, and we’ll give you specific instructions about cleaning around the implant site. Most people are surprised by how little discomfort there is, and many return to work in just a day or two.
Weeks 2-3
The initial tenderness is mostly gone now. You’re back to most normal activities and can eat a wider variety of foods, though you’ll still need to be careful around the implant area. The gum tissue is healing nicely, and you’re getting used to your temporary crown if you have one.
Months 1-3
This is when the real magic happens – though you can’t see it! Your jawbone is gradually growing around and fusing with the implant (we call this osseointegration). Everything feels stable on the surface, and you’re back to normal activities, but that titanium post is still getting stronger and more secure each day.
Long-term Results
Around 3-6 months after the initial procedure, your implant will be fully fused with your jawbone. That’s when we’ll place your permanent crown, and you’ll have your new tooth! It’ll look and feel just like a natural tooth – you can eat whatever you like, brush and floss normally, and smile with complete confidence. With good care, your implant can last a lifetime.
