Almost all the time after dental implant surgery you will be prescribed antibiotics for about 7-10 days.
To minimize the risk for post-operative infection.
It is often used to prevent infection from the surgery.
The protocol I follow is to use antibiotics for dental implant surgery before the surgery and after. Consult your dentist for the appropriate duration.
