Do dental implants hurt?

Do dental implants hurt?

The implant placement procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain. After surgery, you may experience some discomfort, but it is easily controlled with painkillers.

Recovery time dental implant

Recovery is usually rapid, with a period of healing 3-6 months so that the implant is correctly integrated into the bone. During this time we carry out follow-up visits.

Dental implant process

1. Initial query: We evaluate your oral health with x-rays and 3D scanners to determine if you are a candidate for implant. We also design a personalized plan.
2. Area preparation: If necessary, we perform previous treatments such as bone extractions or grafts to ensure that the bone is ready to receive the implant.
3. Implant placement: Under local anesthesia, we inserted the titanium implant into the jaw bone. It acts as the root of the tooth. The procedure is fast and minimally invasive.
4. Cycatrization and osteointegration: For 3 to 6 months, the implant merges with the bone, creating a solid foundation for the crown. This process is essential to ensure long-term success.
5. Placing of the pillar: Once the implant is integrated, a small connector (pillar) is fixed to connect the implant with the dental crown.
6. Placement of crown: Finally, we put a personalized crown that imitates the color, shape and size of your natural teeth, returning the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
7. Monitoring and care: We schedule regular visits to monitor implant health and make sure you enjoy a lasting and healthy smile.

In our clinic we guide you at every stage of the process and guarantee a successful and natural result.
