| What
is the Recovery Period? The
recovery period will vary among
individual patients, but may last one
to two weeks; you may experience
slight pain, bruising or swelling in
the area of the surgery.
Postoperative pain medication and
antibiotics will be prescribed by the
surgeon to aid the healing
process. You may require a
liquid diet during the first few days
after the surgery.
Dental implants
require a time commitment from three
to nine months. They may also
require additional oral hygiene home
care for optimal maintenance.
Finally, dental implants require a
much greater financial investment than
a removable bridge or conventional
denture.
