Implantation is a modern way to restore lost teeth.

It has replaced removable dental prosthetics and has several advantages.

Many people are worried about whether it is painful to put dental implants., Will there be pain after dental implants and how strong is it?

The dental implantation procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The operation to install the implants takes about half an hour. Local anesthesia is used for pain relief, in some cases general anesthesia is used and, therefore, implant placement is painless.

Postoperative Complications

The day after dental implantation using a scalpel, the appearance of an uncomfortable state and soreness, reminiscent of the sensation after tooth extraction, is not ruled out.

If implantation was carried out using a laser beam, then the pain will be less pronounced. This is due to the fact that the laser reduces the likelihood of an inflammatory process and has a wound healing effect on the wound surface.

Complications after implantation:

• Strong pain.
• Bleeding.
• Divergence of seams.
• Reimplantitis
• Sinusitis
• Overgrowth (hyperplasia) of the mucous membrane in the implant area.
• Implant bias and damage.
• The implant is in the upper sinus.
• Twisting the implant.
• Nerve damage.
• The formation of bone tissue over the tip of the implant.

Pain after implantation

Soreness is an inevitable sensation that fully manifests itself upon termination of anesthesia.

The causes of pain can be very diverse and not always a sign of implant rejection.

• Symptoms of pain can be different: compressive pain, pressing, cutting, throbbing, dull pain, bursting, tugging or paroxysmal, acute pain.
• The localization of pain can be limited or spilled, shooting, radiating.
• In some cases, gingival itching is observed in the area of ​​the implanted implant.

Usually, pain after surgery persists for three to five days and is relieved with traditional painkillers (ketorol, analgin, etc.).

Inflammation

If after implantation of teeth, they cry longer than the specified time, then this can occur due to damage to the nerve, or the course of the inflammatory process.

Symptoms of the onset of the inflammatory process:

• Severe severe pain lasting more than five days.
• Swelling and hyperemia of the mucosa.
• Isolation of fluid at the site of the implant.

Causes of inflammation:

• Wound surface infection.
• Smoking, which reduces the healing of soft tissues.
• Overheating of the bone.
• Non-compliance with the surgical protocol for implant placement.
• Violation of the formation of a blood clot between the gum and the implant, which led to suppuration of the clot. A complication, as a rule, is reimplantitis.

Implant rejection

• The presence of bleeding that cannot be stopped.

The following reasons can cause rejection of implants:

• Jaw injury, infection attachment.
• Exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Reviews

• I had a bone tissue extension and an implant was installed in one go. After surgery, the cheek was swollen and there was pain and bleeding from the sutures. The doctor prescribed antibiotics and a bunch of auxiliary therapeutic agents. I drink constantly nurofen.

• I was afraid to install implants so much that four days before the operation I stopped eating. I simultaneously had to remove the two upper teeth on the left and three on the right, and immediately install implants in the same place. What is most surprising is that there was absolutely no pain. It was tiring that this whole procedure lasted about three hours. After the operation, of course, there was discomfort, and a slight swelling.

• My mother has implants for the second year. I remember how nervous she was, very afraid of the operation. The installation of implants, according to my mother, was painless and quick. The postoperative period also proceeded normally. Implants took root in six months.

• I got five implants on the lower jaw. Putting is not painful at all. Of the uncomfortable sensations - sitting with an open mouth for two hours and a prolonged lack of sensitivity of the lower lip. They drill a little and very quickly, when drilling there were no unpleasant sensations. More afraid! When the anesthesia began to recede, it became clear that something was cut. She began to break her jaw, drank painkillers, and after about thirty minutes everything began to subside, she slept through the night quietly. In the morning the pain appeared again, but not so strong, again took pain medication. A little cheek swelled on one side. Conclusion: this is not scary, and even sick leave can not be taken.

• I had to remove the front tooth and, if possible, immediately install an implant in its place. Is it possible to do this only after tooth extraction, when the doctor sees the bone. I was so afraid that three days before tooth extraction I started taking sedatives. I entered the doctor’s office and immediately the fear passed. They gave me anesthesia, I didn’t even feel an injection. Then they removed my tooth. They said that the bone is normal and implantation can be performed. The mood immediately improved, I did not want to be left without a front tooth. When the bone was drilled, there was absolutely no pain. Then they screwed the implant and sutured the hole. They installed a temporary crown by attaching it to an adjacent tooth. I spent no more than an hour in the doctor’s office.
  Immediately, ice was applied to the clinic. I drank the pain medication at night. The next day there was still a slight swelling. By the fourth day, everything had disappeared.

• I have three dental implants. It was not painful to install. An injection in the gum also does not hurt. The operation lasted forty minutes. The next day, swelling appeared. I almost did not drink painkillers, because the pain was tolerable.

• The operation to install the two implants took about thirty minutes. I didn’t feel pain. Unpleasant was the sensation of vibration when drilling a bone. At night I drank a pill of pain medication, because it was not possible to sleep. The next day there was a slight swelling of the cheeks and soreness. On the third day, all the discomfort and swelling went completely. She was able to chew on the side of the installed implant after about a week.

• Six implants were placed on my upper jaw. After the operation, everything was fine.A temporary removable silicone prosthesis was installed. He periodically rubbed the mucous membrane in the place where the implant was installed. At the site of the implant there was pain, redness of the mucosa.
