How Do I Care For Dental Implants After The Procedure? By Cosmtetic Dentistry Atlanta
1.
Most people who have received dental implants say that there is very little discomfort involved
in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during the procedure, and most patients
report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction.
You may have swelling and/or tenderness for a few days after the surgery, mild soreness
can be treated with over-the-counter pain medication.. Your dentist may also suggest
that you eat only soft foods for a period of time. Typically, stitches that dissolve
on their own are used. If your stitches aren't self-dissolving, your doctor removes them
in about 10 days.
After you have an implant, it stays in. You do not have to remove it for cleaning or soaking,
as you do dentures.
up on implants, you can end up with gum disease and bone loss.
