👉Dental implant surgery is usually performed under local anesthetic, and therefore, no pain should be felt during the procedure.

👉After the local anesthetic has worn off, the post-surgery discomfort will vary with each individual case.

👉However, in general, most people will feel discomfort similar to a tooth extraction afterward.
A cold ice pack is placed on skin over the area of surgery immediately after treatment to help reduce swelling.

👉More invasive surgery may require a stronger prescription pain medication and more recovery time.

👉Aside from pain medications, prescriptions for antibiotics and oral rinses may be needed to support healing of the area for the following few weeks.

What types of doctors specialize in dental implants?

Implant surgery can be performed by any licensed dentist provided that the treatment follows the standard of care and is in the best interest of the patient. However, since implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, dental specialists who routinely perform surgery within the jawbone are the natural fit for implant surgery.

Oral maxillofacial surgeons (oral surgeons) treat all hard and soft-tissue diseases or defects, which includes extraction of teeth and jaw surgeries. Periodontists treat disease of the surrounding structures of teeth such as the gum and jawbone. Both oral surgeons and periodontists often specialize in dental implant placement.

Once the implant has integrated fully into the jawbone, the next phase involves placement of the implant crown that will be supported by the implant. This is typically performed by the general dentist or a prosthodontist (dental specialist focused on tooth replacement).

Your natural teeth are subject to discoloration and staining over time. How does a dental implant hold up against these same factors?

👉Myth: Dental Implants May Change Color and Not Match Other Teeth.
When the crown part of your dental implant is made, it matches your natural teeth. Your natural teeth may experience staining from some of these factors:

👉Food and drink like coffee, tea, soda, wine and certain fruits or vegetables
👉Tobacco use
👉Poor dental hygiene
👉Certain diseases or health conditions
👉Certain medications
👉Old age
👉Genetics
👉Excessive fluoride
👉Trauma

Fortunately, dental implant crowns do not react like your natural teeth.

👉Fact: Many Dental Implants Are Stain Resistant.

Many dental implant crowns are made from ceramic or porcelain, which makes them naturally resistant to staining. Coloration issues may arise when the crown’s glaze is broken. Disrupting the glaze with abrasive items may put you at risk for discoloration. In general, it’s best to follow a healthy oral care routine and adhere to your dentist’s recommendations to keep your dental implants safe.
