What’s the Recovery Time?
Recovery after a single tooth implant varies depending on your health and the complexity of the procedure. Most patients return to their usual activities within a day or two, with only mild soreness that typically goes away in a few days. Keep in mind that the implant itself will take a few months to fully fuse with your jawbone.
During that time, we’ll check your progress and prepare your custom crown. Once it’s time, we’ll place the permanent crown, so your implant will be strong, comfortable, and ready to function like a natural tooth.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Single Tooth Implant?
If you’re missing one tooth and have healthy gums and enough bone to support an implant, then you’re likely a great candidate. Even if bone loss is present, we may recommend a bone graft to prepare the area. At Dentist of Anaheim we’ll do a full evaluation to make sure this is the best option for you and explain each step of your treatment plan clearly.
