Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the type of implant surgery. It can take several weeks to months for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone. During this time, you may experience swelling, discomfort, and tenderness. Your dentist may prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort.
Always follow post-operative instructions provided by your dentist to ensure proper healing. After the implant has integrated with the jawbone, a custom restoration will be placed on top of the implant to complete the process. This additional step can take several more weeks to complete.
