Dental Recovery and Dental Instruments

By having a fully reconstructed tooth to replace the missing organic teeth, the procedure will prevent long term effects associated with missing teeth such as a sagging face, and issues with speech and articulation. Generally, after the anchor has been fixed into the jaw the patient will be sent home for recovery, to allow dental instruments the implant time to adjust in the mouth. The next step is fixing the new, artificial tooth onto the titanium anchor. Dental implants look completely like real teeth. No one will ever know the difference.

Healing time differs between patients but most will experience moderate swelling, bleeding and soreness which can be treated easily with over the counter first aid. Most patients can return to work the very next day. During recovery it is important to follow a regimented and complete oral health routine. Swelling in the gum tissue dental equipment caused by poor dental hygiene is the most common cause of implant failure. The dentist will want to check up on the patient up to four times a year, to monitor the progress and success of the implants.
