• Healing Time: It's important to allow time for your implants to integrate with the jawbone. This process, called osseointegration, typically takes a few months. During this period, you may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and cold compresses.
• Temporary Diet Restrictions: You'll need to follow a soft-food diet immediately after the implant surgery to protect the implant site and aid in the healing process. Your dentist will provide specific dietary guidelines tailored to your needs.
