After implant surgery, medications are typically needed for about 1-2 weeks or as prescribed by your dentist. Be sure to follow all instructions given to you. Best wishes for your upcoming dental implant procedure!
You should always consult with your dental surgeon regarding prescription and over the counter medications. There are many medications you may be prescribed including antibiotics, steroids, or pain medications. For the best results, most medications are taken until finished, which usually is around 1-2 weeks.
