What Should I Expect After
All-On-4® Dental Implant Surgery In NYC?
After the All-on-4® dental implants are placed, patients will receive their temporary prosthesis. This is only temporary until the permanent prosthesis is complete. The temporary prosthesis will look and function like real teeth, but the final prosthesis will be much more durable and secure, mimicking real teeth. The permanent prosthesis will be fully customized for you including color, shape, and size. Our oral surgery team will make any necessary adjustments for maximum function and comfort of the dental implants.
Following placement of All-on-4® dental implants, patients may experience mild pain, discomfort, swelling, and bruising. However, these symptoms are normal and should subside in the following weeks. During the recovery period, it’s important that patients take time to allow their mouths to rest and recover. By doing so, they can help the osseointegration process along. Patients may be limited to soft foods while healing. Before going home after the procedure, you will be provided detailed aftercare instructions. In order to minimize the healing process and allow for the highest success rate, patients should follow these instructions with care. Patients will be advised of the best daily oral care for their new teeth. Our surgical team at Madison Avenue Oral Surgery & Implant Center in New York City will schedule patients with routine follow-up appointments to monitor proper healing.
After receiving the final prosthesis, patients will be able to enjoy their newly restored smile. Patients will be able to eat food they may have been limited to before, such as hard or chewy foods. Patients will benefit from no longer having trouble while talking, eating, or smiling as well. In addition to the durability and permanent solution, patients will reduce their risk of jawbone loss.
