The first question that patients who come to our clinic ask us is, "Does the implant cause pain after it is inserted?" And, "How long does it take to return to my social life in the days after the insertion?"

Since the patient is given local anesthesia during the implantation, the patient does not feel any pain, but if the implantation requires very traumatic work on the jawbone, and if additional surgical procedures such as bone addition (augmentation) or gum addition (gum graft) are performed, the patient may experience pain after the implantation. may feel mild pain.

These mild pains felt after the implant application may last for up to a week and are quite normal. If the medications prescribed by the doctor are taken, the patient will continue his social life without any pain.

Implant and natural tooth treatment

The best option for replacing missing teeth today implant A dental implant is a small screw-shaped titanium post that fits into your jawbone and replaces the root of your tooth, supporting a porcelain or zirconium dental crown. Natural teeth and implant-supported teeth have differences and similarities.

The main difference between implants and natural teeth is the way they connect to your bone. Implants actually fuse to the bone and become part of it, meaning they do not move within the bone (osteointegration). This is a unique property of titanium, the metal that implants are made from. It is very important that this connection lasts, and it is up to you!

Natural teeth, on the other hand, do not become part of the bone surrounding them, meaning they do not adhere to the bone and are minimally mobile within the bone. Instead, they are connected by the periodontal ligament, which is made up of small fibers that insert into the tooth on one side and the bone on the other.

Another difference is that natural teeth decay, while implant-supported teeth do not. However, this does not mean that you do not need to worry about oral hygiene. Good oral hygiene is extremely important to protect both teeth and implants. For both, poor oral hygiene can lead to bacterial infections that can lead to gum disease and even bone loss.
