Dental implants can be healing in many ways, because they restore missing teeth permanently to improve your oral health and your self-confidence. Implant dentistry is changing lives across the world, and though it requires a little bit of recovery time, patients are forever changed for the better after their implant surgery.
Healing Time 
The amount of time it takes to heal from a dental implant surgery depends on the severity of the surgery, the patient’s bone quality, and the quality of the aftercare. Typically, healing time will be anywhere from two to four months. However, the more involved an implant surgery was—potentially due to additional teeth extractions, bone grafts, or complications—the longer the healing time will be. Also, if a patient has difficulty healing from invasive procedures, possibly due to a blood or immune disorder, the healing time may be longer than normal.
Proper Aftercare
A patient’s care after an implant procedure encompasses everything from his oral hygiene to his overall health. If a patient follows the dentist’s instructions exactly and maintains healthy habits, healing time should go smoothly.
Dental Checkups
In the following weeks and months after an implant procedure, the patient will visit the dentist several times. These checkups will assess how well the implants are fusing to the jaw. They will also determine how well the patient’s gums and mouth are healing. Once the jaw and gums have sufficiently healed, the dentist will start to incorporate the dental restorations. Often, implant-supported dentures are able to be loaded onto the implants within a day or two of the surgery. However, this may not always be possible, and it is completely normal to finish healing before a dentist will fully load dentures onto an implant.
