Is there pain in dental implants? Many patients are concerned that the placement of dental implants will be painful. Dentist Tania Hatzipanagiotidou gives answers regarding pain during the placement of dental implants.
Mrs.Hadjipanagiotidou I read on your website that there is no pain at all in implant procedures, is this really true and if so how do you manage it?
There is no pain in implant procedures
Well, let's describe how the whole process works. The patient comes in for us to place the implants, we will definitely need anesthesia in the area. It's local anesthesia. That is what we do for a simple filling poly simple anesthesia for an easy filling anesthesia. Before we do the anaesthesia we also give the gel anaesthetic which numbs the gums locally so that one can't even feel the needle. After anesthetizing the area the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure which lasts and minimally. That is to say that each implant to be placed takes us about a quarter of an hour at most. When it is two implants then the implant placement takes twenty minutes and they are side by side. So during the procedure the patient is anaesthetised in the area and locally they feel absolutely nothing.
After tooth implants are placed, a painkiller is started to take away the pain
When he leaves here he'll get a light pick-me-up that we'll give him here of the deponent type and any discomfort he'll feel will last for a maximum of five hours. At first he's anesthetized, he doesn't feel anything. After an hour and a half or two hours when the anesthesia wears off, he starts to feel something light. Most patients don't need to take a second pacifier. So all of this goes away without a second painkiller of the type of deponin we gave at the beginning. So all it takes is one painkiller this mild. If he feels anything more he will take a pacifier after 2-3 hours at home or at work where he is. After the five hours no patient has ever had to take a painkiller the next day. This needs to be emphasized because I am told "doctor I have heard that some people I know have had to take painkillers for days in discomfort and so on". In our practice no patient in our practice the next day has ever had to take a painkiller. I say this so categorically because that is the reality.
Why is there no pain in dental implants?
Now why is this happening? Why is there no pain in dental implants? This is because after so many dental implant surgeries that we have done and so much experience over the years, we know exactly how the whole procedure should go. We know how to minimize tissue damage during the placement of dental implants. In other words, the interventions that we now make in the tissues to place a tooth implant are very conservative. The interventions are minimal and for this reason the less you intervene in the tissues the less pain you will have afterwards. It's as simple as that, the less you'll swell. Because I'm told my friend swelled, he was in discomfort for days if one will one will a very very slight small swelling in the area which after three or four days will be absorbed. I say this in no uncertain terms that this is all reality. If there is pain after tooth implants are placed, it is so slight that it goes away with a simple painkiller. Many people say to me, but doctor, is it true? But why should I lie to you, when in a day or two you will be in surgery and you will see for yourself what the reality is.

Great expertise in dental implants?
That's one reason. A second very important reason, in my opinion, for the fact that the patient will suffer minimal inconvenience when he or she wants to have implants placed in our clinic is the fact that there is expertise in this field of implantology. In our practice the whole procedure is done from start to finish. That is, both the surgical part and the prosthetic part are carried out by the dentist. In other words, there is no need for other doctors to intervene in order to finish the whole procedure. This means that after the specialization that is required for someone to be able to say that they consider themselves an implantologist and after the experience of so many thousands of surgeries, we know exactly what to do. We know how to do it, when to do it, in which patients to use this technique and in which patients to use the other technique for the whole procedure to be successful. So all of this saves us unnecessary discomfort, more time and more difficulty for our patient.
Resin facets
With dental implants we can correct tooth loss. Other techniques are used for microfractures or asymmetries in the teeth, such as the resin facets. These asymmetries and microfractures do not help the patient's smile. For example, if the patient has sparse teeth and the gaps between them are visible, then with resin veneers we can fill in the gap and improve the patient's smile. With resin veneers we can greatly improve the aesthetic result and the patient can have a much better smile. nice smile.

Resin veneers are included in the methods of cosmetic dentistry. In addition to resin veneers the cosmetic dentistry includes porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, digital smile design and other techniques.
