How Long Does It Take for the Implant to Settle?
Dental implants take 2 to 6 months to fully integrate into the bone, a process known as osseointegration. During this time, the implant settles and becomes a stable foundation for a crown or other restoration.
How Long Does It Take for a Dental Implant to Feel Normal?
It usually takes about 3 to 6 months for a dental implant to feel completely normal. After the healing process and once the final crown is placed, the implant should feel just like a natural tooth.
How Do I Know if My Implant Is Healing?
Signs of proper healing include:
- Reduced swelling and pain within a few days after the surgery.
- No signs of infection like pus or excessive bleeding.
- Firmness around the implant area as the bone integrates with the implant.
- If you’re concerned about any symptoms, contact your dentist.
