Mrs. Hadjipanagiotidou about dental implants is it a painful procedure?
No pain in dental implants
Well, too many patients, most patients are convinced that the implant procedure hurts, most patients who come to our clinic are anxious about this particular reason, they ask me too many times "will it hurt?", "how much will it hurt?", "it will hurt too much doctor won't it?", "will it hurt for days?". I have heard from my friends that they hurt too much, that they are swollen , that they are in discomfort, that the discomfort of implants is terrible, "I need implants but I think about all the discomfort". Well, to say that there is no suffering in the implant procedure I can say that with great confidence, for what reason?
Tooth implantation surgery
Because, the experience of so many years shows that the discomfort that the patient has lasts at most five hours after the surgery. During the whole procedure the patient feels absolutely nothing. On leaving the surgery he will take a light pacifier of the type of a deponin. Most patients leaving the surgery and going home or to work will not need to take a painkiller again. Even those who will feel more pain than others will need to take another painkiller an hour or two later. Whatever discomfort they feel will end five hours after the surgery is over. This happens to everyone. What's the reason this happens to everyone; two reasons. One reason is that the techniques that we use in the office are such that they are minimally invasive to the tissues of the mouth and the less you interfere with a mouth the less it will hurt it makes sense.

Extensive experience in dental implants
So the techniques have changed over the years that we have been using. Also the other reason is the experience of the practitioner. The greater the experience, the greater the guarantee of successful placement dental implants. I must say that the number of surgeries we have done in the practice here is over 3,000. So I can say that the experience is quite long and this is a very important reason why patients do not feel discomfort after the tooth implantation surgery.
What are dental implants
Tooth implants are titanium screws that are placed in the place where there is tooth loss. A porcelain case is placed over the titanium screw which is like a new tooth. The tooth implants are embedded in the mouth and are like normal teeth. The implants are the shape and color of regular teeth and are very difficult to distinguish from natural teeth.
When are dental implants necessary
Tooth implants are necessary when there is tooth loss. It is not only a cosmetic problem that arises when there is tooth loss. The adjacent teeth will slowly begin to move to fill the gap. Also the tooth from the opposite jaw will also try to fill the gap as well. To avoid such problems in the mouth it is advisable to have dental implants placed as soon as possible. As mentioned above, the placement of dental implants in our clinic is completely painless. The pain during the placement of dental implants is minimal to zero.
Tooth facets
Dental implants are inserted to fill gaps due to tooth loss. Minor problems are corrected with tooth veneers. If we want to improve the smile, for example, we can choose one of the following techniques tooth veneers. Also small imperfections and small fractures can be corrected with tooth veneers. There are two techniques involved in tooth veneers. The first technique is resin veneers and the second technique is porcelain veneers. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages compared to the other technique.
Resin facets
Resin facings use a material similar to that used in white fillings. However, it is quite upgraded because porcelain grains are included in its microstructure. Resin veneers are a completely conservative process. This means that there is no interference with the tooth material. No grinding and no wear and tear on the tooth. No dental substance is removed. Material is simply added in appropriate places to give the tooth the desired shape. With the resin facets we can improve the patient's smile by correcting imperfections in the teeth.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are the second technique used in tooth veneers. It is a little more invasive than tooth veneers. In this technique, an impression is taken from the patient's mouth which is sent to the dental technician to make the porcelain veneers. Then, at another visit, the porcelain veneers are placed in the patient's mouth with permanent adhesive. The porcelain veneers resemble natural teeth. They are not at risk of changing colour because they do not absorb pigments. The porcelain veneers are a permanent solution for those who want to improve their smile.
What to choose? resin or porcelain veneers
This is a question often asked by patients who want to improve their smile. After all, resin veneers and the resin veneers are mainly used to improve the smile.
