What kind of downtime can I except for dental implants? How long before I can eat and will there be a lot of pain?

Asked By:Jen G

I'm considering getting dental implants, but I wanted to know what the typical recovery time was? What kind of downtime can I expect -- how long will I need to take off work and will there be a lot of pain? And how long before I can eat normally?
