Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, but healing times can vary. Here’s a guide on what to expect.
- Initial Healing: The first stage of healing happens within 1-2 weeks post-surgery, where the gums begin to recover.
- Osseointegration Period: Over the next 3-6 months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
- Final Recovery: The final phase includes placing the crown, which may take an additional few weeks for full recovery.
Patience is key, as a stable and functional dental implant takes time to achieve complete success.
