Is There Pain During Implant Application?

Implants and prosthetic dentistry specialist prof. dr. Omer Kutay Is there any pain during implant placement? "There is no pain during the implant placement. Patients often say, 'You're going to make a hole in my bone, and who knows how much it will hurt.'"

This is not the case because the nerve tissue in the bone is much less than in the soft gums. Bone is not a tissue that hurts that much. It is a tissue with less vitality and nerves. Therefore, opening a socket in the bone is not a painful procedure at all.

Made with careful processing implant We know that patients do not feel pain afterwards, including the same day. We know that when there is inflammation in that area, when these are cleaned, when more extensive operations are performed, the pain is a little more. A scale can be given here;

Let's say the maximum pain is 10, and the pain after the implant will be at most 6 out of 10. We usually start an antibiotic and a painkiller the day before the implant treatment. The medication started the day before is already in the blood during the implantation.

Thus, the pain experienced after the implant is reduced to 2 out of 10. And sometimes there may be no pain.
