To reduce anxiety, postoperative pain, and discomfort, our dentists inform patients about implant placement surgical procedures and anticipated pain levels. A thorough discussion is crucial to reduce patients’ fear and stress.
The surgical procedure for implant placement is less painful than a tooth extraction, with less postsurgical pain and restricted daily activities.
Is Dental Implant Surgery Painful?
You will find that Dr. Rahmani takes a great deal of care in ensuring dental implant surgery is as comfortable as possible.
- We use a local anesthetic. In some cases additional sedation
- Computer-guided surgery ensures incisions are kept to a minimum
- Advanced laser energy automatically seals any blood vessels
- Virtually pain-free as the bone has no nerve
The area will be numbed using a local anesthetic, and additional sedation can be used if required. It is necessary to drill into the jawbone during implant surgery, but this process is pain-free as the bone has no nerve.
Usually, the most uncomfortable part of dental implants treatment is likely to be when the gum tissue is cut to expose the underlying bone.
Computer Guided Surgery
The use of computer-guided surgery means incisions are kept to an absolute minimum as the pre-made stent allows for precise and faster treatment.
Using advanced laser dentistry helps reduce this discomfort even further, minimizing or eliminating bleeding as the laser energy automatically seals any blood vessels. Laser dentistry is highly accurate, and afterward, there is minimal swelling, and recovery is faster.
Over-the-counter Painkillers
Most patients easily control any discomfort with over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen which will help reduce any swelling.
Often people are surprised to find they have no pain at all, and anyone wishing to have a single dental implant will be perfectly fine to go back to work the next day.
