A dental implant can last a lifetime โ and good aftercare is how you get there. Here's what to expect during recovery and how to keep your implant healthy for the long term.
In the first days after placement, mild swelling or soreness is normal and settles quickly with simple pain relief. Stick to softer foods, avoid the surgical site when brushing at first, and follow any specific advice we give you.
Once healed, an implant is cared for much like a natural tooth: brush twice a day, clean between your teeth, and keep up regular check-ups so we can monitor the implant and surrounding gum. Good hygiene is the single biggest factor in how long your implant lasts.
