You\u2019re ready to enjoy the next best thing to your natural teeth with dental implants. Although you\u2019re excited to have a complete smile again, you\u2019re also a bit apprehensive because you worry about dental implant pain. As with any oral surgery, there will be discomfort for a few days during the healing process, but afterward, you shouldn\u2019t even notice your dental implants. If your pain persists or reoccurs, it\u2019s a sign of an underlying problem. It\u2019s time to call your implant dentist right away to protect your new smile from failure.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>Is Dental Implant Pain Normal?<\/h2>\r\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodsidedental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> is designed to replicate the root you\u2019ve lost. A titanium implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone. Your bone fuses to it through a process called osseointegration to provide a stable foundation for your restoration.\r\n\r\nSince the process requires oral surgery, it\u2019s normal to have some pain, but many patients say it isn\u2019t any worse than a tooth extraction. Generally, you\u2019ll experience some side effects of the surgery, including:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Facial swelling<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Gum swelling<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Bruising of the face and gums<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Pain<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Minor bleeding<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAs you heal, your side effects will gradually improve. If they worsen or new pain occurs after you\u2019ve healed, you need to call your implant dentist right away.\r\n<h2>When Do I Need to Call My Dentist?<\/h2>\r\nThe Journal of the American Dental Association recommends you contact your dentist if your symptoms worsen in the days following your procedure because it can indicate an injured nerve. This occurs when the implant post touches the nerve that runs underneath your teeth. You may experience discomfort when touching near the implant. You may also have an unpleasant feeling in the lips.\r\n\r\nAfter you\u2019ve healed, you should not experience any issues. If you develop sudden pain or have a feeling the implant is loose, you need to see your dentist right away. These are symptoms of peri-implantitis, which is a preventable infection like gum disease.\r\n\r\nAlthough painful, red, or tender gums may not be concerning at first, it can destroy the supporting structures for your dental implant and lead to failure. Thankfully, your dentist can often save your smile if you act quickly.\r\n<h2>Stop Your Dental Implant Pain<\/h2>\r\nIf you have dental implant pain, don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late to save your smile. Your dentist will find the root cause of the problem to create a customized treatment plan to give you the relief you need. You can protect your investment with quick action and help from your dentist.\r\n\r\n<strong>About Dr. Derek Cornetta<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodsidedental.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Derek Cornetta<\/a> strives to build lasting connections with his patients because he believes you don\u2019t need to hate going to the dentist.
