Post-Operative Guide: Dental Implants | Dr. John W. Thousand IV

This video is a comprehensive guide for anyone who is about to have dental implants placed or recently had dental implants placed. It includes information that relates to both simple implants or implants placed with bone grafting. In this video you will gain information on the following subjects: (1) What to expect after dental implant surgery, (2) What NOT to do after dental implant surgery, (3) Things you can do to improve healing after dental implant surgery, and (4) Some long term considerations for maintaining a healthy dental implant for the rest of your life. I hope this helps you all to a fast and healthy recovery!

Thank you, I just had the all on 4 dental implants put in. They were not counting on keeping me overnight, but did because of some of the risk factors I I was experiencing. They couldn’t get me to stop bleeding, and this in turn caused my potassium to go up beyond the normal level. I have stitches all over on the inside of my mouth. My palate feels like a fishing net, and so do both sides of my tongue. They never told me any of this information that you said in your video. So thank you . I am very Grateful. I’ve never smoked and I’m 65. I ask and ask for a ice pack while in the hospital, they kept saying, we’ll see what we can do. Never did get one. Sorry I didn’t see you first. May you continue to be honest, and thrive at your practice.
Wishing you and your team the best….gratefully Debbie Feighner/Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I had 1 implant done about 4 days ago from the time of posting this comment. The post op pain for me peaked on that same day of surgery. The second day i had just some soreness. But by that third day I had no more pain or discomfort and very little soreness.

Thank you so much for this video. I wasn't given any post op instructions. I went in for a replacement crown on an old root canal. The tooth came off with the crown. I cried like a baby after they told me they needed to do an extraction. I was hearing words like, implant, bone graft, etc. Then I was told that I could have a missing tooth for 6 weeks. I honestly about fainted. I'm a Clinical Pharmacist and I'm crazy about my dental care. It took an hour and a half to remove the tooth. And 5 hours after my appointment began I left with a titanium screw in my jaw and no post op instructions. So thank you, thank you, thank you, for this video.

Thank you so much for this video!! Had 2 implants yesterday and your video was way more thorough than what my dentist explained. Glad I found your video😊

[@janetmartinez8168]

So you only have two done at one time? Which two were they? I had my Eye teeth done. I only wish I was shown these podcast. I do have to admit they make it (SOUND) so easy.
