Restoring your smile with dental implants is a transformative step. Implants don’t just improve your oral health, but also your confidence, comfort, and overall quality of life. At Breeze Dental in Canal Winchester, Dr. Julia Hill and her dedicated team focus on providing a smooth, supportive experience throughout your implant journey.
But what happens after your treatment is complete? This guide will walk you through what to expect in the healing phase, how to care for your new implants, and how we continue to support you in your long-term dental health.
Once your dental implant placement is complete, it's natural to feel a mix of relief and anticipation. At Breeze Dental, we prioritize gentle care and clear guidance to help you feel confident in your next steps. Here's what you can typically expect in the hours and days following your procedure:
Because Breeze Dental is a private practice, our team takes the time to walk you through post-operative care instructions in a calm, one-on-one setting. We make sure all your questions are answered, and nothing feels rushed.

While that may sound daunting, most patients comfortably resume normal routines within days after surgery while osseointegration continues in the background.
Throughout this stage, Dr. Hill and our compassionate team will check in regularly, making sure everything is progressing as expected. These personalized follow-ups are part of what sets our dental practice apart. Healing milestones often include:
