Does dental implant surgery hurt?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query.

What is the age of your sister?

From your statement, I assume that most of the tooth structure of the same affected teeth fell on their own, and the other teeth are good. To guide you better, I would like to see the image of the teeth. If the adjacent teeth are healthy, you can also go for a bridge, which is also a fixed prosthesis, but there should be teeth on both sides of the missing teeth, and the adjacent teeth will also be prepared and capped.

As far as the implant is concerned, there is nothing to worry about. The procedure will be carried out under local anesthesia, so there will not be any pain in 99.99 percent of cases, though she might feel pressure and any pain or discomfort during or after the procedure, which will be managed with medications to comfort the patient. It will take time for the implant to get attached to the bone, and the following procedures will be completed. But it has a reasonable success rate, and your adjacent teeth will not be affected.

Make sure that the doctor knows her medical history, if she has any.

Regarding anxiety, you can guide her positively at home. The doctor will also give an early morning appointment if possible, manage her anxiety, and if required (for severe anxiety), medicines will be given. Tell her that everything will be done with her consent and only if she is comfortable.

We are there to help you. If anywhere she feels discomfort, she can tell the dentist, and he will stop the procedure or manage it. She can communicate about her anxiety and fears to the doctor anytime. If she wants, she can visit the dentist first for just communication. Accordingly, the treatment schedule can be planned.

There is nothing to be scared of. I would like to see the image to guide you further.

I hope it helps.

Thank you.
