How Painful are Dental Implants?
If you or a loved one are considering getting a dental implant, one concern you may have is the pain. This is a valid concern, especially after finding out that dental implantation is the placement of a screw-like object into your jawbone. However, do not worry! In reality, implant surgery can actually be a painless procedure!
The Surgery:
The most common misconception about implant surgery is that the bone will hurt during or after surgery, when in reality, the bone has no nerves at all. That means if you experience any pain, it is actually coming from somewhere else, such as your gums. Now, what if there was a way to do implant surgery without cutting your gums and potentially causing pain?
You may have heard that getting a dental implant means your gums need to be cut open to place the implant into your bone; However, with the help of advanced technology, we do not need to do that in many cases. Even if you are getting full-mouth implants! Not only will you be fully numbed with anesthesia, but also with the help of 3D scanning and printing technology, surgery has become more precise and less invasive. Now, implant surgery can be done even without a blade. No cutting means the amount of pain or discomfort you may feel is drastically reduced or minimal. This advanced, efficient implant-placing system makes your implant surgery virtually painless and quick!
Recovery:
After surgery, we want to make sure you have the best possible recovery. Our minimally invasive surgery also helps make sure your recovery is as painless as possible. Less cutting during surgery means less swelling, bleeding, infection risk, and faster gum recovery time after surgery! In addition, we make sure to check up on you and prescribe you proper medication to help you with your recovery.
