Traumatic injuries in your mouth can adversely affect your dental appearance leading to loss of multiple teeth. However, your oral surgeon can restore your dental and ensure you regain your dental aesthetics. Full mouth implants can be ideal in restoring your multiple missing teeth. Dental implants in Temecula can restore your missing teeth with minimal pain exposure. Our specialist utilizes sedation dentistry to alleviate your pain during your full mouth implants procedure.

What to Expect During Your Dental Appointment

The number of missing teeth will determine the ideal restorative mouth implants for you. During your initial visit, a dental examination will be done to check your dental status. Your specialist removes the remnants of your broken teeth and infected tissues to prepare your mouth for the implant’s placement. All-on-4 implants involve the surgical insertion of several anchors to place new dentures. The surgical placement of full mouth implants requires a major surgical operation to ensure the dentures are stable.

There are several aspects that your oral surgeon will evaluate before the placement of full mouth implants, including your jaw bone mass and your natural bite. Your specialist further locates the anchors and ensures even distribution of pressure. The surgical sites are sutured, and your mouth is cleaned after the surgical insertion.

Causes of Pain After Your Full Dental Implant Procedure

It’s rare to experience severe pain over a prolonged duration after your dental implant surgery. However, after the procedure, you may experience throbbing pain once the effects of anesthesia are worn out. Our dentist in Temecula recommends you take medication to suppress your pain.

The implant procedure may lead to several complications, including incision line opening where the tissue that’s surgically inserted reopens after your surgery. The latter irritates your oral tissues, and you’ll require antibiotics to prevent infection on the open tissues. Incision line opening is painful, and your specialist may recommend you to take pain relievers.

Improperly fitted mouth implants cause severe discomfort and pain. The complication occurs since the implants haven’t fused the jaw bone. Your oral surgeon has to reattach the implant to prevent pain. Periodontal infection on your surgically impacted soft tissues may lead to unsuccessful implants placement.

Bacteria enter your oral tissues hindering healing. Some of the symptoms that indicate you have post-operative complications include:

• Severe inflammation
• Fever
• Excessive bleeding after the procedure
• Nausea

Is Dental Implant Pain Normal After Surgery?

The placement of full dental implants is surgically-invasive, and anesthesia is useful in alleviating your pain. There’s minimal pain during your full dental implants surgery since sedation is used. Your specialist will determine the right option for you before the procedure, and other options include administering local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia.

You are likely to experience minor pain and discomfort after a full mouth implant procedure.
