A Complete Guide to the Recovery Process by Stage: Pain and Swelling After Implant Surgery!

Hello~

I’m Director Yoon Tae-ho of Seoul Vardii Dental Clinic.

You need to have surgery,

but you have a lot of schedules like drinking appointments...

Since you haven’t experienced it before,

it’s hard to predict how much swelling or pain there will be, right~?

Since it is a surgical procedure, there are probably many questions about pain and recovery after treatment.

A Complete Guide to the Recovery Process by Stage: Pain and Swelling After Implant Surgery!

So today, we’ve prepared this so you can indirectly experience the process stage by stage according to the surgery date.

1. Immediately After the Implant Procedure (0–3 Days)

This is the most tense time.

Will it hurt when the anesthesia wears off..?

This is actually the period when you feel the most discomfort.

The representative symptoms during this period are as follows.

The cheek around the surgical site may swell,

and it may feel tight, with difficulty opening the mouth.

A small amount of bleeding may also occur. In severe cases, bruising may appear.

If you take your medication properly, it usually won’t hurt much,

but you may feel uncomfortable on the day of the procedure through the next day.

(Varies by person!)

Therefore, applying an ice pack for about 24 hours

can help reduce swelling and pain.

Please refer to the cautionary notes post!

2. 4–7 Days After Implant Surgery

From this period onward, pain gradually decreases,

and in many cases, daily life becomes possible.

Most dental clinics remove the stitches between 7 and 14 days.

If it is judged that gum healing is needed,

the stitches are removed about 10 days to 2 weeks later,

but

generally, they are removed after one week.

Once the stitches are removed, discomfort decreases significantly.

It also becomes easier to open your mouth.

3. 2 Weeks to 6 Months After Implant Surgery

This is the period before the prosthesis is made.

From this period onward, most discomfort disappears,

and normal daily life is possible.

If there are no special problems, there is almost no pain.

Light exercise is also possible!

At this time, if you brush too gently

because you are worried about causing problems with the implanted implant,

gum inflammation may occur.

Most problematic implants develop issues within one month,

so it is best to manage oral hygiene thoroughly!

Please be careful only on the day of surgery!

It is best not to have any special schedule on the day of surgery.

After a tense day,

resting comfortably helps recovery.

Pain after implant surgery is usually temporary,

and with proper care and medication, it improves quickly.

Swelling varies from person to person (depending on body type), but

it can be at its worst until the third day,

so if you have important schedules such as lectures,

it is better to avoid them when making the surgery appointment!
