You could be right back at work as soon as the day after you get your implant. Of course this depends on how your treatment goes and how your body responds to the surgery. Even though dental implant surgery is very minimal, it’s smart to plan to take a day or two off, just in case. Your body needs rest in order to begin the crucial healing process, and you may need more time than you think if your treatment plan includes tooth extractions or multiple implants.
