Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported restorations don't slip out of place. When your replacement teeth are fastened to dental implants, you'll be able to bite into all of your favorite foods and speak with complete confidence.

Dental implants can be a lifelong solution to missing teeth. While the crown, bridge, or denture attached to your implants will require replacement about once every 10 years, the implants themselves can stay in place for 40 years or more.

Patients should avoid hard physical activity after their surgery. Most patients are able to return to work two to three days after their procedure. To prevent infections, Dr. Osga may prescribe antibiotics and antiseptic mouthwash.

Swelling is an expected side effect after your implants are placed. Placing ice packs against your cheeks can help reduce bruising, pain, and swelling. Ice packs are especially recommended for the first 48 hours after your procedure.

For the first couple of weeks after your surgery, your diet will consist of soft foods like yogurt, ice cream, and eggs. As your implants become more secure in the healing process, you can begin to eat more solid foods. 

Keeping incision sites and your teeth clean post-surgery is important to the healing process. Gently use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid irritation. You may also have to rinse your mouth after eating to get rid of any food particles lodged between teeth or in the site of your implants.

Pain and discomfort can be managed with rest and over-the-counter medications. For patients who are having a difficult time managing their discomfort, Dr. Osga can prescribe pain medication. Be sure to follow all medication instructions to avoid any serious side effects.
