“Are dental implants painful and how much time does it take to heal from a dental implant surgery?”.

Dental Implants recovery

 

During dental implant surgery, a surgeon opens up tissue in your mouth and drills one or more titanium rods into the bone underneath your gums. This provides a permanent root for a replacement false tooth. You’ll be under local anesthesia and shouldn’t feel pain during dental implant surgery. Recovery may include pain that lasts a few days, but it can be managed with medication. Pain that lasts longer than a few days or gets worse may require medical care.

You’ll probably feel some pain or discomfort after dental implant surgery, but it shouldn’t last more than a few days. The pain may feel more acute when the local anesthesia from the procedure wears off. It’s likely that the pain will be near the site of the dental implant. Other symptoms you may experience after dental implant surgery include bleeding at the surgery site swelling around the gums and the face minor bruising jaw pain. 

Pain following a successful dental implant procedure should be temporary if everything heals as it should. Your pain may last 3 to 5 days after the procedure. You may only need to take pain medications for 1 or 2 days. It’s possible that you can resume daily activities the day after the procedure if you feel up to it. You may have swelling, bruising, and jaw stiffness for a bit longer. These symptoms should fade in 7 to 10 days following the surgery.
