If you have missing teeth, chances are you\u2019ve at least considered dental implants<\/a>. Still, you might be put off by the idea that they involve invasive surgery. They\u2019re foreign objects bonded and secured to your jawbone, after all \u2014 won\u2019t undergoing this process hurt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth, getting your replacement teeth ought to be painless. See for yourself in this summary of what to expect during and after dental implant surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Will the Surgery Itself Hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Given what\u2019s involved, the treatment shouldn\u2019t cause you any significant pain or discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, your dentist will numb you with local anesthesia before the procedure. They won\u2019t proceed until the affected tooth area is completely numb, meaning you won\u2019t feel the implant\u2019s placement into your jawbone. You may experience pressure at times, but it won\u2019t be painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, many dentists offer dental sedation for the implants\u2019 insertion. In doing so, they help keep you calm and relaxed for the surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What About the Recovery Period?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may experience some discomfort once the anesthetic wears off post-procedure. However, most people say that it\u2019s less than that of tooth extraction.  As such, you\u2019re unlikely to experience significant pain following surgery. You\u2019ll likely be well enough to return to work or your daily activities the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To manage any lingering soreness, dentists recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like Advil. or Tylenol. Plus, try to avoid hard foods while healing from the treatment. In two weeks or so, the pain will have passed. If it persists beyond that mark, visit your dental practice at once to figure out if there\u2019s an infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The implant will fully heal in about four months. Once that happens, you\u2019ll receive your crown restoration to make the implant look just like a natural tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While receiving dental implants counts as \u2018surgery\u2019, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll feel terrible suffering from them. Trust that your dentist can give you a restored smile without any nasty aches or pains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
