How long does it take for dental implants to heal?

Dental implants are a process. Generally speaking, dental implants are no easier than tooth extractions, and they can be a little painful. So how long will it take for dental implants to heal? Let's take a look below.

If there are no special circumstances, the time for suture removal is 7-14 days. Generally, according to the doctor's request, you can come to remove the sutures on the next day. Generally, 7-14 days is the normal time range for suture removal. If the patient uses absorbable sutures, the absorbable sutures will be absorbed by themselves in about 10-14 days.

The duration of dental implant surgery is about half a year, which includes about 3 visits, with a follow-up visit every 1-2 months, and each visit lasts about an hour. In addition, the restoration time of upper and lower teeth is different.

After the stitches are removed, the implant placement process is complete. You only need to wait a few months to install the crown to complete the implant surgery. After the stitches are removed, there may be some slight pain, and some may even have inflammation, but it is generally tolerable and can be relieved under the professional guidance of a doctor.

There will be slight dull pain or discomfort within two or three days after the operation, but it is within the tolerable range and will subside soon. No painkillers are needed. If the customer is sensitive or feels severe local pain, painkillers can be used on the day of the operation. Under normal circumstances, the customer will not feel persistent pain 24 hours after the dental implant surgery.
