Dental Implants Recovery Time
Your recovery from dental implant surgery will depend on the type of dental implant you choose, and your body’s natural ability to heal. For standard dental implants, this process can take up to one year. This is because the implants need to integrate into your jawbone before they can act as a sufficient replacement for your new false tooth. Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth only when your body accepts them as a new tooth root. This takes some time, but offers the most reliable and permanent results.
Mini Implants
New advancements in dental implant technology have brought about mini implants. Mini implants can be placed without surgically cutting gum tissue, which reduces healing time and allows for much faster results. With mini implants, it is possible to walk into our office with ill-fitting dentures, and walk out with a secure, seamless smile.
No one procedure is ideal for every patient. During your initial consultation with Dr. Cload, your options along with your expected recovery time will be discussed with you in full.
