<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The length of recovery time for dental implants will vary per patient. In most cases, it will not take nearly as long as people assume. With good oral hygiene and specific dietary restrictions, patients can count on an efficient and comfortable recovery. Our team can suggest soft foods patients can eat to lessen the chance of irritation in the area surrounding the implant. Patients should ask about oral health techniques to apply to avoid inflaming the site as well.</p>
<p>We can help explain the initial and long-term recovery process, so most patients know what to expect following implant placement. Although every patient has a different experience, there are certain side effects to expect and precautions to take during post-operative care. According to <a title="Read more about Potential complications from surgery" href="https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/dental-implants-problems#surgery-complications" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Post-Op-Care-for-Dental-Implants">Medical News Today</a>, infection, gum recession, and a loose implant are more common problems that can develop after dental implant surgery. Patients should inform our team of any medications they are taking or chronic conditions that might affect recovery.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">The Recovery Process</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The recovery process happens in stages, and many can make a full recovery in as little as four weeks. The patient may need to take several days off from work and physical activity during post-operative care, while the swelling and discomfort are at their worst. Most return to eating normally within two weeks, which is about the same time swelling, bleeding, and overall discomfort should start to go away.</p>

However, there are certain side effects patients can expect during post-operative care. Several of the more prominent and notable side effects include:
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li><b>Pain and swelling:</b> The dentist will provide ways to minimize discomfort, but there will be some pain and gum swelling for the first few weeks of post-op care.</li>
<li><b>Minor bleeding:</b> While it is possible to keep bleeding at a tolerable level by avoiding irritation of the implant site, some occasional minor bleeding may occur.</li>
<li><b>Difficulty chewing:</b> Dietary restrictions (see below) are necessary for the first few post-op care weeks.</li>
<li><b>Restricted movement:</b> Swelling and discomfort often restrict jaw movement during the recovery process.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Most side effects are minor and go away within the first few weeks of post-op care. Talk to your dentist if more severe side effects develop.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Your dentist should schedule one or more follow-up appointments after the day of surgery. You must attend all of these appointments. The number of appointments and the type of aftercare applied will depend on the treatment plan agreed upon by you and your provider.</p>
<p>Dental implants must be checked on regularly because there are so many elements to monitor. First, the dentist must check to ensure the implant is attaching to the jawbone properly and that there is no inflammation or signs of infection. Also, there is a slightly higher risk of gum disease in those with dental implants, leading to implant failure, among other problems. Your dentist will want to catch it early to prevent it from becoming a more serious issue.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>If patients are looking to speed up the recovery process, there are some things not to do. Do not drink through a straw as the suction could irritate the wound and slow recovery. Smoking can slow healing by depriving your body of vital oxygen needed for recovery. Other vices to avoid include caffeine and alcohol. Drink water instead because staying hydrated will speed recovery.</p>
<p>Besides practicing good oral hygiene, there are a few things one can do to aid in recovery.  Patients can use ice packs to help reduce swelling. By day two and after, saltwater rinses will help keep bacteria away.</p>

<a name="recovering-from-implant-surgery"></a>
<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Lifestyle Changes</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The recovery process typically involves several weeks of dietary restrictions, lifestyle, and oral hygiene changes.</p>
<h3 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Dietary Restrictions</h3>
<p>The dentist provides the patient with specific instructions on foods and drinks to avoid during recovery. Nothing the patient consumes should be extremely hot or cold. Keep in mind that oral infection risk is higher after implant placement, so limiting foods and beverages high in sugar is essential. Foods that are easy to chew can include oatmeal, eggs, soup, and mash potatoes. Drinking water throughout the day is helpful as well.</p>
<h3 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Lifestyle Changes</h3>
<p>It is natural to experience discomfort for the first few weeks of post-op care. Some patients may prefer to take a day or two off work while they recover. Most importantly, avoid activities that may result in a blow to the face (sports, weight lifting, outdoor activities) during the recovery process.</p>
<h3 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Oral Hygiene Routine</h3>
<p>As mentioned, the risk of infection is higher during recovery, so a proper oral hygiene routine is essential. Be certain to brush gently several times a day and use mouthwash regularly, along with any other specific recommendations provided by the dentist. Resources such as <a title="Read more about Oral Care Guide" href="https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/default.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Post-Op-Care-for-Dental-Implants">WebMD’s Oral Care Guide</a> may provide useful information as well.</p>
