Healing After Dental Implant Placement: What to Expect

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains how advancements in dental implant technology now allow for same-day restorations in many cases, reducing the traditional waiting period. If you are considering dental implants, schedule a free consultation today to see if immediate restoration is an option for you.

In the past, the process of getting dental implants required a significantly longer healing period before a restoration could be placed. Patients often had to wait months after implant placement before receiving a functional tooth replacement.

With advancements in implant technology and surgical techniques, this timeline has been greatly reduced. In many cases, it is now possible to place a dental implant and attach a restoration in a single visit. While the implant continues to heal and integrate with the bone beneath the surface, patients can leave the office with a functional and aesthetic restoration in place.

This advancement eliminates the prolonged waiting period that was once necessary and allows for a more immediate improvement in function and appearance. If you are considering dental implants, we can evaluate your case to determine whether immediate restoration is an option for you.
