After your implant surgery, the first few days are all about rest and healing.

• Symptoms: Swelling, slight bleeding, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal. You might experience tightness or pressure at the implant site.
  
• Pain Management: Our implant dentist will prescribe painkillers or recommend over-the-counter medication.
  
• Diet: Stick to soft, cold, or room-temperature foods like smoothies, yogurt, and mashed potatoes. Avoid using straws.
  
• Oral Care: Gentle rinsing with a prescribed mouthwash or warm salt water. Do not brush the surgical area vigorously.
  

At AK Dental Clinic, we monitor patients during this phase to ensure proper clotting and healing.

Week 1: Reduced Swelling and Tissue Recovery

As you enter the first week post-surgery, most of the swelling and pain should subside.

• Healing Signs: Gum tissues begin healing, and the implant starts bonding to the jawbone.
  
• Stitches Removal: If non-dissolvable stitches were used, your dentist may remove them between days 7–10.
  
• Hygiene: Maintain excellent oral hygiene to prevent infection around the implant site.
  

🔍 If you’re based in Vile Parle, Juhu or nearby, schedule a follow-up with the best dental implant specialists at AK Dental Clinic to assess early healing.

Weeks 2–4: Osseointegration Begins

Osseointegration is the process where the titanium implant fuses with your jawbone. It’s what makes implants so secure and long-lasting.

• What Happens: Although it’s happening underneath, you won’t feel any active changes. But you’ll begin regaining normal comfort and chewing ability.
  
• Precautions: Avoid chewing directly on the implant area and maintain a soft-food diet if recommended.
  

This is also the stage where patients ask about dental implant caps and bridges. Your dentist will advise on timelines for temporary or final restorations depending on your healing progress.

1–3 Months: Bone Integration Phase

This is the most critical period for long-term implant success.

• Ongoing Process: Osseointegration continues. This stage varies from person to person depending on bone quality and overall health.
  
• Minimal Symptoms: By now, most patients don’t feel any discomfort at all.
  
• Monitoring: Regular check-ups at our dental implants clinic in Mumbai ensure everything is progressing as expected.
  

AK Dental Clinic provides cutting-edge digital scanning and X-rays to check how well your implant is bonding with the bone.

3–6 Months: Final Restoration & Crown Placement

Once the implant has completely fused, you’ll be ready for the final crown or prosthetic.

• Final Impression: A digital scan is taken for the perfect fit of your dental implant cap.
  
• Crown or Bridge Placement: Your permanent crown, bridge, or denture will be placed, completing your treatment.
  
• Bite Alignment: The dentist checks and adjusts for comfort and proper function.
  

Whether it’s a single implant, multiple implants, or implants and bridges, our experienced team ensures a natural look and strong bite.
