Is Pain Normal After Dental Implant Surgery?
Experiencing mild to moderate discomfort after dental implant surgery is completely normal and part of the healing process. However, severe or persistent pain is not typical and should be evaluated by your dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible.
What to Expect After Surgery
In the days following the procedure, you may notice:
- Swelling or bruising around the cheeks or jaw
- Tenderness near the implant site
- Mild to moderate pain, especially during chewing or brushing
These symptoms are usually manageable with:
- Over-the-counter pain medication, such as ibuprofen
- Cold compresses to reduce swelling
- Soft, lukewarm foods to avoid irritation
When to Be Concerned
If your pain:
- Increases several days after surgery
- Is sharp, throbbing, or radiating
- Is accompanied by fever, pus, or a foul taste
…it could indicate an issue such as infection, nerve irritation, or implant instability. Early intervention ensures the best outcome.
Long-Term Sensitivity or Pain
Occasionally, some patients may experience prolonged discomfort due to:
- Poor implant positioning
- Incomplete osseointegration (failure of the implant to fully bond with the bone)
- Undiagnosed infection or bone loss
Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor healing and make adjustments if necessary.
