In general, like any surgical procedure, dental implant treatment can cause normal pain or discomfort after surgery.

It should be noted that after recovery there should be no problem, pain or movement.

During surgery

When placing dental implants, the surgical procedure can be performed under local anesthesia or sedation, to avoid pain.

The advantage of sedation over local anesthesia is that you will not feel anything while the surgery is being performed. However, not in all cases it is possible to perform the procedure in this way. The specialist must evaluate the case of each patient and the state of their health, to offer the appropriate alternatives.

During recovery

During the recovery process after surgery you may feel discomfort and swelling for a few days. However, these annoyances are controllable. Generally recommended:

• • Maintain a bland diet during the period of recovery and osseointegration.
  • Do not consume hot or spicy food.
  • Put ice on the face area at least for the first 24 hours.
  • Take antibiotics and pain relievers, at the discretion of the specialist.
  • Maintain good oral hygiene, brushing your teeth three times a day and flossing regularly.
  • Avoid the consumption of tobacco and alcohol.
  • Avoid high impact sports.
  • Avoid sun exposure In a direct way.
  •  

After recovery

After the process of recovery and osseointegration of dental implants There should be no pain or any discomfort such as movement of the implant. You can eat, talk and smile without any inconvenience.

If you feel pain or movements, you should request a review appointment with your implantologist to identify the causes and correct the problem.

In addition to all of the above, before starting a treatment with dental implants it is very important to take into account the experience and expertise of the implantologist who will perform your treatment. The success of the surgery and the success of your treatment will depend on this.
