After dental implant placement, patients should follow post-operative instructions carefully, including keeping the area clean, avoiding hard or chewy foods, and taking prescribed or recommended medications as directed. Mild swelling or soreness is normal and temporary. Good oral hygiene, avoiding smoking, and attending follow-up visits are essential to support healing and ensure the implant integrates properly for long-term success.

How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last decades or even a lifetime with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding smoking, and attending regular dental checkups help ensure their longevity. While the crown or restoration may need replacement over time due to normal wear, the implant itself is highly durable.

When is a bone graft necessary for implant placement?
A bone graft may be necessary when there isn’t enough healthy jawbone to securely support a dental implant. This can occur due to tooth loss, gum disease, or bone deterioration over time. Bone grafting helps rebuild and strengthen the jawbone, creating a stable foundation so implants can be placed safely and successfully.
