Getting a dental implant<\/a> requires a surgery<\/strong>, which is most of the time associated with pain by our patients. So here is everything to know about dental implants pain and how to reduce it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it painful to get dental implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants<\/a> surgery is a procedure to replace one or multiple missing teeth. As surgery is often associated with pain, many patients hesitate to get a dental procedure like dental implants, fearing that it will be painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia<\/strong> to numb the mouth so that the patient feels no pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the patient’s comfort, the EL CEDRO Barcelona dental clinic offers to perform your treatment under intravenous sedation<\/strong>. The IV is an option that can be considered for patients who are anxious, stressed by surgery or those who are fearful of going to the dentist. It consists in injecting an anti-anxiety medication into the vein with a small needle. This medication helps the patient to relax and to not be stressed or feel any type of pain during the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A dental implant procedure is carried out by a dental surgeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step in the dental implant process is the preliminary check-up and placement of the implant. On your first appointment, your dentist will perform certain dental examinations, such as an X-ray. The primary reason for these dental examinations is to find out if the patient is a good candidate for dental implants, the number of implants he needs and if he needs a bone graft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once all examinations have been completed, the dental surgeon will proceed to the placement of the dental implants. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia<\/strong>, lasts 15 minutes and is a painless procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the dental implants are placed, the healing period<\/strong> known as oosseointegration begins. This period is very important for the bone to fully incorporate the implants. This period lasts from 3 to 6 months. During that time, your dentist will supply you with temporary dentures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the implant has completely healed, your dentist will place the defenitive implant prosthesis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Dental Implants Hurt After the Procedure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the first few hours after the procedure you won\u2019t experience any pain.<\/strong> Once the anesthesia or the sedation wears off you may feel some discomfort. However, you should know that it is perfectly normal to feel some pain or discomfort after a surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recovery Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, patients heal within 1-2 days. <\/strong>However, this duration may vary depending on how many implants the patient received, if the patient had a bone graft or not. In this case recovery time can be around one to two weeks. Recovery time is also impacted by other factors, such as patient health, oral health and hygiene. The age can also be a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a quick recovery, patients should follow the dentist’s recommendations after the dental implant surgery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long do dental implants hurt ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Usually, dental implants pain lasts 3 to 5 days after surgery. This period may vary from one patient to another, your dentist will prescribe some painkillers <\/strong>to take for one or two days to relieve the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ways to relieve pain and discomfort after dental implants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s completely normal to experience some facial swelling or a a minor bleeding after the surgery, your dentists will prescribe painkillers for pain management. If you experience some swelling after the surgery, you can use an ice pack to reduce the discomfotr. It’s recommended to avoid physical activities after getting dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-operation instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In order to fully recover from dental implant surgery, the patient must follow the instructions given by the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
