Will dental implants hurt?

Dental implants are an effective and best way to solve tooth decay or tooth defects. Local anesthesia is usually used. It has low risk and a little pain, especially after anesthesia, the pain will be more obvious.

1. Before conventional dental implants, the doctor will anesthetize the patient. The patient only needs to endure the slight pain of a shot of anesthetic. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. You won't feel any pain during the entire operation. Depending on individual reactions, some patients may experience pain and swelling within two or three days after the operation, but this is completely within the tolerable range and does not require rest, nor does it affect work. After a period of recovery, when the artificial root is tightly integrated with the alveolar bone, a porcelain crown is made on the artificial root. Because they are non-destructive, dental implants have been recognized by the oral medicine community as the preferred method of restoring missing teeth.

2. Dental implant surgery is a relatively simple minor dental surgery that uses local anesthesia, has little trauma and low risk. Patients can eat soft food after the surgery and it is almost painless. Dental implant surgery is generally divided into two operations. The first operation is to implant the artificial tooth root into the jawbone. The operation is performed under local anesthesia. Only a small incision is made on the gums, and then a hole with a diameter of about 4 mm and a length of about 13 mm is drilled in the jawbone. The artificial tooth root is implanted into the bone and the operation is completed.

3. During the dental implant surgery, the patient will not feel any pain due to perfect local anesthesia. Dental implant is a very small dental implant surgery, which can usually be completed in half an hour. However, after the dental implant is completed, it will take about three months for the wound and the connection between the alveolar bone and the implant to recover. The second operation is simpler and only requires exposing the artificial tooth root implanted in the first time into the mouth, which is also done under local anesthesia. During the entire operation, the patient will hardly feel any discomfort. Although the entire dental implant operation is relatively simple, it has relatively high professional requirements for the doctor, and must be performed by a professionally trained and experienced doctor.

4. Generally, implant placement only takes tens of minutes to several hours to complete. Since the biomaterials selected are highly compatible with the human body, dental implants do not produce any adverse side effects on the human body. If the bone integration of the dental implant fails, that is, the dental implant is not successful, it can be removed and then implanted again after the bone heals, or other repair methods can be used.
