Healing, Recovery, And Dental Implants!
We hear a lot from patients about what happens immediately after their dental implants are placed. They want to know what to expect from recovery, what type of healing is going to occur, what they need to consider in order to be prepared, and why it seems to take quite a long time (if you’re comparing the experience with receiving something like a dental bridge). As you might have already figured out, our Rohnert Park, CA oral surgery team is ready to respond to such uncertainty with some very simple answers that can make you feel a whole lot better about your outlook post-placement!

We would love for you to consider some suggestions that we like to offer our patients that may help you say goodbye to any nervousness you’re experiencing and instead to say hello to actually looking forward to the treatment!
