How long does it take for dental implants to heal

    Generally, healing can be achieved after a few days of tooth extraction, and it takes slightly longer to recover wisdom teeth.

    Some patients may feel pain and swelling within two or three days after dental implant surgery, and basically return to normal after a few days. After 7-10 days, the suture is removed and then the bone healing period of 3-6 months passes. After the bone healing period, the artificial tooth crown is implanted, and if the body is normal, the implant restoration is completed. Patients with good bone conditions can install a temporary crown after implanting the artificial tooth root to solve aesthetics and pronunciation problems as soon as possible. Compared with tooth extraction, implants are implanted with foreign bodies in the root of the tooth, so the healing time is longer, but as long as you pay attention to maintenance, you can basically return to normal within a few days after implant.

    Compared to tooth extraction, dental implants seem to be nothing. For patients whose physical conditions are in urgent need of dental implants, it seems that they can be compared with extractions, which can better convince themselves to overcome their fears and face them bravely. After all, dental implants are currently not a replacement for other restorations.

    Of course, whether it is tooth extraction or tooth implantation, postoperative care and maintenance are also very important. They can not be ignored because they are related to our own oral health.
